Yeh, I read about that over 2 years ago in a Hemmings mag I believe. LeSupra?

wouldnt that be a pointless swap sence the 7m is a small engine and thats a heavy ass car i would think that he would of had the 7m modded but it looked stock so not enough torque to make the car excellerate fast off the line but i guess its just to show how you can swap any motor into any car still very interesting choice

It's actually a bit lighter than a MKIII...

And I'd so rock that :evil5:

i had thoughts of building another 7mgte and putting it in my camaro, but thats just a thought

Lemans/gto/chevelle/malibu A little HEAVIER than a mk3 :icon_surp

No, they're a couple hundred pounds LIGHTER, plus I bet the 7M is quite a bit lighter than the original motor.

Looking up a base model 1972 Pontiac LeMans,it was about 3,510 lbs.But that's just a figure pulled out of the internet,so.

Take engine weight into consideration ^^
