- Why would anyone want to do THAT? It would take major metal work to do it. It would add more weight & further to the front & destroy the great balance & handling of the car, which is an advantage ov

- Well, not many (if at all) have put a big six in the 100 because it is too long, and way too heavy. the power gained is not worth the effort. The V-8 is a great option because they are lighter, short

- Hi Tracy, Ahh - but the V8 weighed somewhat less than the four that it replaced. Even better balance. It appears from the responses that "some" have done it. Just pulling your chain a bit. Dave
