Lesabre with v8?

Post by Karpov »

Rockauto and internet that there are fwd lesabre with 307.


Ho difficult it is to swap if you have 3800? Tranny? Space under hood?


If my 3800 brokes, there in finland you cant get very easy another one, but 307 etc is lots of.

There is no V8 FWD lesabre... But the C and H bodies were designed with the Caddy 4.1, 4.5 and 4.9 in mind..

The only FWD 307s that I can recall were in the Riviera, and Tornados. The rest were RWD afaik.
