It is an odd combination, GM engine and Dodge chassis, so I seriously doubt that the setup is original. I imagine someone had that engine lying around at some point, so they shoved it in there. The vehicle has obviously been much tinkered with during its life. There are a few other things...

Thanks Craig, i guess I should have done that to start with. I hadn't said much about this vehicle because 1- I really didn't know much about it; and 2- It's still pretty ugly, and as of yet undrivable for more than a few yards. The engine is pretty well shot. Cats out of the bag now though...
