Does anyone have any idea of what the bigest motor you could drop into the engine bay of a 1990 Century is. I've thought about dropping a V8 in it but I'm not sure what sizes would fit. I know I would have to do a bit of modifying to the car first.

hi, i would recomend having a word with the guys at EAST COAST KUSTOMS.CO.UK i took my nova there and had a turbo lump put in it, i probably have less understaning of engines than you but they were really helpfull and the cheapest quote i had! have a look on the web for the no. there is some cool stuff on there too!

Is that in the UK? I'm in the US. I'm just looking for different things like turning it into a shdow cruzer (looks stock and beatable, but has lots of power).

I thought about putting a caddy 4.5L in but it looked too big, so i dont know, maybe something smaller than that??

I would think, that with a bit of modifying (rear wheel drive, differential, engine mounts, transmission and driveshaft), you could drop a V8, probably as big as a 427, in it. I just don't know where to start. I want to turn it into a sleeper.
