Want Photo of V8 in a Kadett Wagon

[Kaconna]

I'm planning on putting a V8 in my 69 kadett wagon. I want to see some pictures of wagons with V8s. If anyone has seen or know where I could find them, post them please. Thank you.

cant say i've seen a kadett with a V8 in it , may be one out there but i dont think its had its photo shown here

what engine were you thinking of putting in it ? what do you plan for upgrades to the rest of the wagon for drive train and brakes ? have you any thoughts on what kind of front suspension mods you would be doing to carry the extra weight ?

302 out of a AMC jeep with it's tranny. probably a camero rearend shortened , maybe a mustang frontend. like i said, planned on it, not yet going through with it. maybe a V6 , i know that'll work but the v8 is free.

something like this but not turbo charged.

well good luck if you do it , think the engine and tranny will double the weight of the car almost so have a care

That car belongs to one of the members of the Opel Motorsports Club here in Norway and I've had the opportunity to study it up close at several club meetings and if you can pull off anything remotely close to what he's done, then more power to you my friend, pun intended

Basically there's nothing left of the original Kadett other than the outer body shell and the guy who did it is probably the closest thing we have to RallyBob over here
