Re: Putting a V8 in a model a
Just a note on boxing the model a frame. You really only need to box it in three places on each side. In the front where the motor mounts are, in the middle where your cross member is going to go and in the rear. The boxing plates need to be no longer then 6 inches. Install a panhard bar in the rear and you'll have no trouble with flex or sway. When you put in a cross member, F1 cross member in my case or 32 K member that others have used before; that model a frame will handle the V8's.
Again use common sense, I'm talking small block, stock or mild not a big block with 500+ horsepower.
