Original idea was to put in a Cleveland 302 that was swapped for the twin v that was in the Xy , then with 91/2 diff and c10 Tran but found crack between 2 cylinders on Cleveland and with a xr6 sitting in the shed thought I would try and find out just how hard it would be .

Engine swaps are a big enough project... but
The XR6 uses a full monocoque chassis you cannot just fit an XY body to it. add to that the cars have different dimensions and wheelbases. the only common factor is the Falcon name. Nice idea but No.
