Its really too bad that more wasn't done with this engine. No real aftermarket, never put in cars, etc. In my quest for a quick, cool-sounding and extremely efficient V8 for my 70 Challenger i want to daily drive i kept coming back to this one. Its small, its light and being a DOHC it will sound wicked with some dedicated pipes, make very good power and kill anything else in efficiency.

Then i get into the nightmare ov install, the non-existent aftermarket, and the fact that no one knows anything about them. My final thought was basically... for the work involved i'd just install a Ford DOHC mod instead. That solves EVERY problem. The way i figure... you might as well... it'd be the same amount ov work to swap the Ford in... possibly less because the aftermarket is there to solve many ov the problems that WILL arise.


Still... for what YOU have... i say do it. I wanna see it.
