Re: Motor blew up Saturday night. Rebuild the 6 or swap in a V8?

The V8 weighs about 75 lbs more. The frame mount bolt holes match up. Flat washer will be needed to lift the engine between the block and rubber mount and between the frame mount and intermediate mount. The front suspension will hold up. The fuel line will need to be lengthening. The throttle linkage doesn’t fit. Some of the engine wiring harness will need to be lengthening. Exhaust doesn’t fit. Rear end might hold up if you baby it. Falcon '6cyl to V8'
