Title: future V8 Post by: Gary C on February 14, 2010, 08:28:22 PM Probably getting a bit ahead of myself but just wondering is it actually possible to set up my ute now for a bolt in chev down the track. It has a 202 and aussie box. The 202 is out and receiving a freshen up. The disc brake crossmember is also out and waiting for the correct outrigger to arrive. If I were to install a chassis kit and the aftermarket larger tunnel and a powerglide now for the 202 would a V8 conversion later just bolt in. I realise there would still be a lot of work but is it possible to set up the chassis and transmission now for the 202 and later bolt the V8 to that transmission. There needs to be a fair bit of work done now to get the aussie box and 202 correct and I dont want to do it twice. Because I have other projects at the present Iam happy to keep the 202. thanks ,
