Does anyone have pics of a Ford v8 conversion? I'm going to do this conversion so don't try and make me do a Chevy.

The motor itself is roughly the same size... it's the waterpump/timing cover BS that adds so much length. Very do able conversion, but takes some high end fabrication on the front of the motor.

Might also have issues w/ distributor clearance??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

BJH has got it right. Fabrication of either a special cover, or custom water inlets is required IF you don't cut into the firewall. As for the distributor, you can use a late model Explorer motor with the EEC-V distributorless ignition. If you cut into the firewall, and make a sheetmetal cover, then I would think you could make it fit quite well. There was a 5.0 914 for sale in SoCal about two years ago. I have comparative dimensions of a SBF, SBC, and LS1 motors at the office.
