This makes the decision easy. I WILL purchase this vehicle. It is not a matter of $$$$...that I have. I will trade my '98 in on it. I am calling my bud at the dealership now..........

It is easy as pie to drop a v8 in a Bonneville and I can get it done for you. The deal is the 4.6l (new Cadillac v8 ) has not been made into a kit so requires a little more messing around but it can be made to fit perfectly and you would never know it was not meant to be there. I will have a kit available by 2004 if they don’t make a v8 Bonneville. I will also offer a Rwd conversion but that is still a ways away. In the end this will be a custom deal and I have two very experienced companies I can call on. If you are very interested and ready to do such a swap we can get started but because a kit has not been worked out the cost will have to be worked out. I am willing to let the first 4.6l swap go at cost. so I would take nothing from the deal just the money required for laborers and parts. Once again I only use top-notch people so the end product would be Perfect. On my site I have a ASG 5.0 kit that you might find interesting. I plan to put up video clips within the next little while so you can see the ASG 5.0 engine running.

Yes time to save some money.

2005 will be the RWD Bonneville not 2004 GXP! GXP is based on an Aurora/Caddy V8 FWD engine!
