Would be a cool swap, but I would think for the money you would be a able to build a pretty stout 302 or 351.

are you talking 5.8 or 5.4 ??

im assuming 5.4

and yes...its not gonna cheap but can be done, but not too hard

almost every mounting point is off....so custom DS and possibly motor to trans adapter too

id check some lightning forums...they will know whats up
