there would be a fair bit of modding to do if u wanted to put any v8 in an eski, getting rid or the brake booster and master cylinder and moving it, engine mounts and moving the radiator forward and maybe cutting a chunk out of the firewall, getting a bigger gearbox tunnel, then u haveto move into the diff and tailshaft, a hwole lot of mucking around really

a 3.5 leyland V8 would be a better fit, and wouldn't affect the handling too much.

considering a 302 into a mk1 for our next build
to go up against an sr20det mk1 should be interesting if it goes though

using bronco mounts and bronco sump helped me out when i did this to a cortina but it was a clevo 51 and if you want to go manual then you also gotta mod the clutch system plus brake mods and the other mods that were sugested
