Possible, but gunna be surgery. Not a direct swap. Will need to move some mounts around, wiring harnesses, linkage mods, etc.IMO, the only reason that I personally would do the 4 into a 3 hole, is to mod the snot, out of the 4, and build a cool hot rod. Just have to figure out how to keep the front end from hopping! (while doing a burn out. I've only done one with my 3/5. It's gotta be hard on the equipment! ) Or just be easier on the gas at take off.

...well that settles it, I'll wait for McM to try it first... ...I know it would be a bunch of work. I've been kicking the idea around for a few days now. Figured I would see what you 'more-learned' Metrologists thoughts were about the venture. |

Sounds like a fun project. I can't see why you can't do it. Make it a project on here with lots of pics. ![]() |

Now that is just plain sick. I wonder what they did with the G10 if it had one? |

Lots of work, as you can imagine, not to mention you're having to sleep in your new shed . . . wife having to walk to the store and everything . . . cutting her car up for parts! Bad Bend and Snowfish have the cheap and easy solution going with that race car camshaft they have in theirs. 3Tech or Delta can turn one out for you. Although . . . nahhhh . . . but then again . . . . nahhh! Mac will get his done someday . . .
