Too heavy for a 4k front end... But still a nice swap.

I have a pic printed out, but forgot the site, never found out if he finished it. he got the engine in and fine, but he had no cooling system whatsoever since there is virtually zero room for a radiator, etc... cool idea though, kickin once it's finished...

wonder how they beefed up the suspension for the extra weight?

The V8 is an all aluminum block, not cast iron like the I5. All in all, a complete V8 long is only about 30 lbs heavier... Almost the weight of an A/C compressor.

In the pictures posted there's no cooling, so the engine's just sitting in there. Anyone could drop one in and snap a few pics. I'd be more impressed if I saw it actually propel itself.

He isn't on aw as far as i know but he is on www.eurospeedltd.com/forum and the 034efi forum. He just picked up a v8 and is designing a twin turbo setup, using the same 034efi IIc with ignition control and all that. sould be pretty crazy.

But he never finished the swap IIRC due to the giant PITA it was among other reasons.

I think some of the V8 bits are a little lighter, and get the weight w/in like 5-10lbs? Forget the stats...
