I, for one, would love to see the V8 section greatly expanded. This seems to be a growing area of interest, I see more and more of these swaps online. Ran across 740 wagon with 5.0 Ford/5 speed/Bilsteins, etc, and fairly clean S. Carolina body on local Craigslist, in ghetto are of Detroit. Guy was selling cheap, but wife says "NO MORE CARS!" so let it pass at $1600!! There is a lot to be learned and a lot to be considered before attempting a project like this. Wiring issues drive me nuts, personally, but input on suspension, A/C, exhaust, etc are all things I would love to hear other folks input on. Also would like info on parts sources and suppliers. 2 door 242 body parts in USA seem to be nonexistant and even IPD is cutting back on 240 stuff, espacially performance items
By the way, Mr Moderator; can this thread be changed to; "New idea V8 swap advice" instead of "speaking of under car pics"
