A 3800 Series II for my 1964? HELP

Hi I'm new to the forum,

I here because of my increasing interest in the 3800 series II and III. I have been surfing this site and I have noticed some really helpful information and just a generally great bunch of people willing to help each other out.

I own a 1964 Pontiac Acadian, the Canadian version of the Chevy II. Lots of guys drop small blocks in these little cars and they haul some serious A$$. But the small block thing has been done to death and I want something different. I want a daily, reliable driver, somewhat economical, but that will have a bit of get up and go when you put your foot into it.

I would love to drop an L36, L37 or even an L32 if I could get my hands on a low milage cheap one. I notice there are a few guys here who want to convert their front wheel Pontiacs into rear wheel drives. I want to take a FWD 3800 Series II and convert it to a rear wheel drive.

I would love to see some photos of the following:

1) A successful conversion of a front wheel drive motor supercharged motor into a rwd.

2) A picture of a 3800 Series II from the oil pan up - I am curious to know how I can fit the motor in the rather bizarre steerage linkage of the Pontiac Acadian.

3) The motor mounts on the 3800 Series II.

Thanks alot in advance.

I may cut and paste this in the RWD section if that is okay.

Cheers
