Titan V8 in a 240

[SexPanda]

I believe the engine wouldnt fit, ive read about this. Its DOHC, as apposed to cam in block or anything. Its too wide, if i remember right.

And why do that? You can pick up a used chevy 350 for half the cost.

eh yeah. I do think its too wide though. I read somewhere about someone trying to do this and having to cut into the wheel wells or something. Im pretty sure its too wide.

But a Pushrod LS1 is nicer



I'm a Nissan guy at heart, but any v8 swap this side of a LS1 makes zero sense other than being different. The LS1 outpwoers them all, and it's modability is legendary. Heck, an LS2 makes even more sense, as it excepts all of the 6.2 heads/intake upgrades....you can do a stock LS2 bottom, with different GM heads/intake + aftermarket cam and easily make 500+ on engine.

fuck ls1s dude. i wouldnt go with the vk56 personally. but the VH45 fits quite nicely into an s chassis. its a flawless motor and can be had for cheap. and why automatic? simple adapter plate can be made to use a manual gearbox. and how cheap? the VH is an older motor also, so it can be found just as cheap as any other. i picked one up for $200 right in town.

You are right about half the cost but if ur gonna swap a v8 into a 240 might aswell keep it in tha family.
