Had I the money and opportunity I'd buy that and drop something interesting on it... '56 Nomad or a 30's Panel Wagon, perhaps.

I wonder how hard it would be to drop a C4 shell on that rolling setup.

i dont think it would be that easy considering the C4 uses a conventional tranmission and that has a rear mounted transaxle, and IIRC the C4 has a shorter wheelbase. If you want an LSx get a C5 or a C6. For not much more than 15k you could get a C5.

in addition to what deiaggie said, the C4 is a wacky semi-monocoque unibody... it won't adapt well.

You think you could adapt that motor to the C4 drive train or could you mount the tranny that is on that on to the motor and slap it inbetween the frame rails of the C4

Mid-engine configuration?
