Well he might have to put another motor in the trunk just to keep the rear tires on the ground under braking.

custom mounts....no hood...custom wiring...custom suspension....rear wheels lifted cause a 350 with tranny will weight a **** load..car would be undriveable...think of it this way a h22 is almost impossible to mount( almost)...so a 350 is pretty much impossible wiht the stock chassis

that's what we've been trying to say.
domestics are hella fun, I've always wanted a couple of V8 cars.
like a Mooooostang and a Impala or a Malibu and a Camaro. Like a pair of nice V8s in the driveway.

V8 Focus is common
V8 miata is common
V8 Volvo, common
they all use the Ford pushrod 5.0L
anyways, yeah... you're making some pretty stupid comments like fast = domestic. I dunno if this is a joke or if you are serious. Either way
