I missed a chance to see 777's v8 conversion when he passed thru not long ago, on his way to Yurp.

Yeah, that would have been interesting to compare different conversions...

Stock, I think you have width problems with the 90* motors. I think I've got a +300hp solution using a stock 3.0 block and mounts and tranny.

Sure, V8 is wider than Mitsu 3.0, but it's not a width that is the biggest problem.

Anyone ever transplanted a sbc and tranny into a Dodge Raider

litemup, you have to think what result you want from the conversion, what are your financial resources and how much time you have available. There are a lot of engine options for swap and all of them have their own advantages/disadvantages. About V8 I like low RPM torque and good power, but it needs a lot of modifications and it's heavier than any other engine would be.

Anyway good luck with the swap, whatever engine you'll choose for it.
