I voted for the funnest, most expensive one. The only drawback is having to screw up a perfectly good Ford 4x4 just to save a Lumina body.

Don't worry If I do this I will get a donor with a body that is shot or with a body that would have good parts for my 82 f350.. I am sorta leaning toward doing this because it would be the only thing like it on the road, and it would have a more reliable drivetrain. I also think it would be kind of cool. I realize it would be a huge magnitude of work, but I am up for it.

Get some blaze orange spray paint, and make a giant bullseye template. Paint it on the side. Park it at a rifle range that says it's ok, and obtain a 50 caliber rifle that shoots BMG ammunition. Sit 500 yards away, leave the engine running, and let 'er rip!

You could sell tickets!

Fix, and sell. It would suck to see a Ford drivetrain on a Chevy. It's like seeing a Ferrari drivetrain on a Civic... quality on a piece of junk. Get rid of that junk before it drives you into the poor house (where all the Chevrolet owners are).

Nah, put the body on an AWD aerostar chassis.... That or crush the thing. Even running the scrap yard will give you more than it's worth... (~$25)
