1990 V6 supercharged engine is blown. Have used for track racing and was looking into swap with carburated V8. This has 5 speed standard transmission. The bell housing does not appear separate from gearbox. Will the V8 bolt up?
Motor mounts?
Any other issues?
thanks

why would you ever want to go backwards on technology...just fix the problems with the current engine.
Much easier to tune??? I don't know how much electronics you would put back converting it back, but I wouldn't have any electircal stuff excerpt for what I would need. So, it'll be much easier to tune it, and work on! No stupid sensors to keep it from running right and crap like that.
I have been doing them for years now. The carb is simple and trouble free. Use a "MSD" dist and controll box and you just unplug the V6 stuff. Engine mounts are out thewre as well. When I do big blocks I make my own adaptor to go from the stock frame mount to the engine. Now if you go this way you will need to get a different trans. I put either C6's or C4's in them. The bell housing for the C4's are hard to come by but the C6's are everywhere. Good luck and have fun......Rich
The bell has a different bolt pattern.
