Caprice engine swap?

[kevm14]

Just putting this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W140

Quite a bit more power than the M73 but I would bet that the M73 has far less issues at this point in its life. And I have an actual emotional attachment to the E38, even though I do like the W140. I think the E38 combines the styling, comfort and sporty flair that I like, sort of like what the Impala SS was trying to do. The S600 is an awesome car but is not sporty.

For furrin' cars:
First gen Q45
W140 S600
Maybe even an LS400
Honda has nothing for me
I like the Audi S8 but I think their cars just suck and are too front heavy
Bentley Turbo R or similar

I think the LS400 would be the ideal car to use as an interim daily driver. You know it will be reliable while you work on your LS swap in the Caprice.

Yo dawg, I heard you like LS...

So I bought you an LS400 so you can LS while you LS.

Or maybe an SC400? I know where you can get one with minimal rust repair needed!

Still think we should evaluate the caprice further on a lift. This can be done for $7/hour in Newport on the base, but they're only open on weekends.

Acura RL? Those were unloved enough that they might be cheap now.

The RL is so unloved that even I don't love it. Tepid V6, wrong wheel drive.

Interior a bit rough, but what do you want for $700? http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/5376523462.html
