V6 to V8

Kaconna · 03-25-2009

yeah, i was planning to go with a V6 for the wagon but a friend is giving me a free 302 with tranny. so i can't really pass that up. pictures i've seen with a v6 in the engine bay still looks of have some room. i haven't seen V8s in wagons though. anybody got any pictures or sites? i know many gts fit V8s but i've never seen a wagon.

This is not a Wagon, but, it is a Manta which is the same, engine bay wise:

The ford 302 with a C4 weights is almost as much as the whole car without an engine. You would need to change the front crossmember to a Mustang II and beef up the two front rails.
