the biggest problem I had with the v8 is the optispark, putting the distributor in front is where i lose some of the space, and the fact that the guy that did the rebuild on the engine was also the same guy that dropped the job and screwed me over. And I am not sure how the engine will run , I just figured that in the long run I would be better off with a crate engine, at this point I am more frustrated then anything else
