What size v-8 to install?
the old trucker:
Cranman I was looking @ a couple of pics of KPM's bomber. He has a 302 Ford with a manual trans in his. Says there's room. Can you put a c 6 automatic with that? Maybe KPM can put a couple of close up pics on for us to see.
KPM do you still have the stock diff or is it changed? I read on the net that a 302 is 3" shorter & 2" narrower than a 351W. KPM said there's enough room to change the plugs on his.
Joke for all. What does Ford mean spelled backwards? Drof ?;; driver returned on foot!! It's only a joke!!
What does Mopar stand for? More old parts are recycled!!

He took 2 wheels out and shrunk the body down, crammed a 350 Chev in with nice headers pointing up. No drive shaft, bolted right to the diff from the tranny. Very nice workmanship. Pictures to come soon. Goes to show you can do anything, just need lots of hours into it.
I also have a short video of him taking off. Goes like hell!

Swamp Dwag do you have any pics of Dan's 350 motor install? I'd like to see them.
Swamp Dawg:
Look under the Narrow gauge heading. I made a topic there last year - Dan shavers machine. Thats all I have for pictures.
the old trucker:
Sorry Dwag, I thought you had more pics.
super:

agree there
you can use an old mustang motor 289 or 302, lots of torque there...as i remember from my old hot rodding days those engines were designed to fit in a small engine compartment, mustang, cougar, and they have a very narrow bank as compared to other V8 engines of that era
