    Default Convert Pontiac g8 into Chevy SS

    Transform Chevy SS into a Pontiac G8
    Does anyone on Grrrrr8 know if you can transform a Pontiac g8 into a Chevy SS. I’m the original owner of a 2008 G8 and I would like to upgrade my car with everything that comes on the Chevy SS upset for the shell of my Pontiac G8, but I want to put the engine transmission suspension steering wheel wire harness rear end command center and all the other upgrades that the SS has, into my Pontiac G8 therefore I want to make my 08 Pontiac a 2014-2017 SS but keeping my body style can someone give me answers ASAP??

    Cheapest way would be to sell the G8 and buy a used SS.

    Rotohack 102 intake - 102 MAF - TPIS 102 TB - TVS1900 ported & plated w 8 rib 2.5" front + OD rear
    PnP Interchiller - RCR ported heads - RCR Lunati 219/231 113+1 - Forged Bottom End
    ARH 2" LT headers - Solo 3" CB - MT DRs + M&H FRs on Weld RT-S
    CTS-V fuel w Vaporworx - FAST 85s - Alkycontrol meth M15 + M10 - RCR tune

    Yeah, this guy was trolling G8boards with this nonsense as well.

    As I said over there, only carryover parts are the LS3, TR6060, and doors. Everything else has changed (including the PCM/TCM).

    Short answer is No, not possible. It is possible to convert the G8 to many other Holden VE variants should you choose to do so.

    This.

    Somebody did manage to put a G8 front on a PPV though. Personally I’d rather make the SS look like a G8

    Yeah, and it looks like total ass. There's nothing worse than a pieced together car in my opinion. I hate them.

    It's the same freaking car.
    I piced together a Ssv clone. Haven't meet someone who hates it yet.
