Default Re: Putting a V8 in a model a

In your first post., you say that you don't know how. You need to carefully examine your skill set. Can you weld? Do you have a large enough space and a set of tools? You don't just stick in a V8 and call it good. Everything needs to be altered in some fashion. Brakes, suspension, possible frame boxing, steering and on and on. Don't get in over your head

Should have known you can't just throw the thing in there. I am not the best welder, never had to do any of that. I used to fix car bodies and paint cars, nothing really in the mechanical area.
