Ideas for swaps other than a V8.

yeah, how wide are those engines?

i'm sure it will fit, but it might be pretty tight. Trans mating might be an issue.

I measured it up, and unfortunately it was on a piece of paper that I can't find ATM. But there was only about an inch of clearence for the the head to the frame rail on each side, IIRC.

The nice thing was, you just about fit the whole motor behind the shock towers. The idea was to run two small turbos, one on each side. Then mount them in the front, with a V-mount cooling setup.
