you better check with your engineer what size engine you can fit with a v8 becuase it is more restricted with turbo.
It might be squeezy with FE-FC inner gaurds but these days you can probably stick the turbo at the back of the car.

Dags,

ive looked into it a little bit.

was thinking a stroked 253 ( to 310) with 2 huffers.

be prepared for the HUGE cost for the motor alone.

forged pistons, conversion to 4 bolt mains, head work etc.

then whack on more for some decent water cooled, roller bearing huffers.

just cos that aint enough a fair amount of head scratching for the exhaust, intercoolers etc.

you prolly need to cut out the inner guards completely to get the space, and then introduce a bit of structural issues as a result.

i'd love to see it done


if i were to start over, I'd go a turbo, but for now, the numbers and re-engineering doesnt add up, especially when a 355 stroker is one step away.
