plus you would fuck up your local dragstrip's "import vs domestic war" night, since... that thing is a bastard. in more than one way.
And so are you for proposing it.

what the fuck do you think you can do that hasn't been done already? lets see, v-8 in a 240? gee i've NEVER seen that before


only 20 times before. its what guys do when they can't afford a real engine. they figure, well, the camaro has the rear end blown up, and the 240 has the blown engine.. deerrrr....
and they toss it together and it sucks bitter ass.

waste of everything, time, money, whatever. you would be better off selling your poor 240 to someone that cares about it and buying yourself an IROC Z.
good luck with the mullet. they are tricky.

what exactly is wrong with taking a 240 with most likely a blown ass KA and putting a more powerful and more readily available engine? he's breathing life into a dead old car it seems so big deal if it's an american engine he wants in there. the same argument goes on on the miata boards when someone wants to take a salvaged or blown up miata and put a 302 swap in it. hell, the 302 in the miata only disrupts the weight balance to 52/48 from pretty much 50/50 and the miata engine weighs much less than a KA. i really don't think he's wanting to do it to be "special"(if he wanted that he would've done the V8 into a civic or something)
