seen them come up for sale from time to time. wondering if it is a good combo.
Or if its a good idea to build one.. built enough of these, keeping stock, but thought a nice v8 would be cool.
What kind of obstacles one would be up against shoe horning one in. Looks like ample room in the frame rails, between firewall and radiator.
Did you use another radiator or rework/re-plumb the existing one?
Mounts?
Mate to the dodge tranny or just go all Chevy motor/tranny and custom shaft to the divorced transfer case?
Headers/exhaust routing pose a problem around the stock steering box?
anything else/ It looks simple enough. If I ever do it, I want a CLEAN job, not a hacked mess cutting the frames or firewall.
