Rather than pouring money into a tired drivetrain, I am considering an engine swap. The body and interior is in great, rust free condition, and I'm wondering if this car would make a good V8 candidate. Assuming the rear end is still in good shape, will it handle a 400-500 HP V8? What is the best and or easiest engine/tranny choice? Thanks! Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
