Not in the traditional sense. The car is a unibody, with a bolt in engine cradle/ subframe. I believe there is a subframe in the rear for the rear suspension as well.

It could do okay with the right tires and some power.

Let'* hold off on the what will fit/work idea and start asking some different questions... like...
1. What mechanical/engineering experience do you have?
2. What tools do you have?
3. Do you have access to a lift? A friends shop?

Judging by the questions you are asking, it seems you don't have much of an idea of anything car related. Which means, you probably shouldn't be heading up a project like this.

Yeah, that'* where I'm at too.

The OP is asking all the wrong questions for the scope of project they are looking totake on.

Default Mikes idea

You could take a full length 4 cylinder *-10 frame with suspension, axles etc. Take the 4 banger out, drop a Vortec 350 in it with a 4L60-E, then drop the Bonneville body on top of the *-10 frame.[/QUOTE]

so I'm just gonna do this what'* said above does it matter if it'* unibody and yes I have tools yes I have some experience with this kind of stuff I have a (Macanic that can help me he works with me)
