They purchased the car with a 5.7 L LSx V8 and T56 six-speed manual transmission from a Pontiac GTO. But that wasn&#8217;t enough cylinders and displacement. So they swapped the V8 and transmission for a V10 and T56 six-speed manual from a Dodge Viper. Of course fitting that much engine into a bay designed for an inline-four is going to require modifications. That is where fabricator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jchutch\/\">Josh Hutchins<\/a> stepped in and made a custom tubular subframe, custom mounts, custom front sump oil pan, and custom 4-inch side exhaust.
