Re: is a V-8 Possible

A person has dropped in a 351...but it was in a drag only car. The weight of a v8 would totally throw off the balance of the car and make it not practical. You need to do a LOT of customization and upgrade the suspension, breaks, and unless you are going to work over that 3.4L its easier/cheaper to just turbo the ZX2 to get over 235hp crank. If anything a 3.0L Duratec v6 with SVT contour heads, intake mani and cams would be a decent swap, but still not cheap.


swaps really don't have any point on these cars.
