MSDS (Martin Schneider Designed Systems) has a 350 v8 swap.. only
caveat is that you take it to msds to have the work done.

Yes, I know it is a nice engine and more powerful and so on.  But.  Being in the US, would it not make better sense to put a V6 or a V8 of American origin in there?  I am sure this subject has been hammered from day one, but I don't remember reading about it on the list.  I have seen aluminum V6 out of a boat that looked beautiful and compact.  The 350 Chevy engine is famous.  Heavy, I know.  But it is simple and powerful.  Easy to work on, cheap parts, etc.
