Lets see: -Install a K-member or adapter that allows installation of engine with mounts in RWD fashion. -Widen exhaust center-tunnel for a F-body tranny and driveshaft (since they use 3800s, direct bolt on). -Strengthen rear frame for torque. -Weld in an f-body rear suspension. -Modified PCM for new tranny. Yup, that seems about it. If you can fabricate and have an F-body donor car, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to duplicate. It's just that most people can't/don't and it would cost a fortune to have someone fabricate for you. These are also guesses on how the person actually designed the RWD system, but the process would be similar no matter how you went about it.

There is no future GP to my knowledge, it's been dubbed the G8, just as the GA replacement is the G6.

I believe the G8 will be RWD, possibly absorbing some of the GTO buyers when the GTO is tossed aside for awhile.

I think the GXP GP should have been RWD. What were they thinking. It is almost un-American to not have a RWD, high HP car.

The first FWD was by an American company wasn't it? Oldsmobile perhaps?
I have yet to see a GXP in my area, but I've seen three Impala SS with the 5.3.

Weren't caddies the first with fuel injection as well? I know they adopted it really early, in the '70s some time.
