Your have a 94" wheelbase for plenty of room. I don't see a problem
other than finding someone that'll SMOG a lawnmower. I don't know where
you would find information on wiring your computers, maybe swap
harnesses and everything.

Ahh, thank you sir!
I don't remember who told me it was Pontiac, but I honestly didn't know for
