V8 swap need help, read before delete
Okay, I am interested in doing a LT1/T56 swap into my 240. Now I know you moderators are going to send me links saying there is information there but I checked all the links and they dont tell me anything important. I was wondering if anyone had a link to a site that sells kits and has a walkthrough on the installation. And for you "OMG CHEVY/NISSAN?!?!?! 
" Take it somewhere else because I don't care if you would buy a fox body instead of swapping it into a 240. The 240 is my favorite car and I want to hit the hp range I want without having to spend hardcore cash, while looking good.

Let's all think back to Carroll Shelby before we go bashing putting a good high HP engine in a car it was not "intended" for.
"AC Cars (Auto Carrier) of Thames Ditton, England, lost the source for the six cylinder Bristol engine for its two-seat roadster in September 1961. Carroll Shelby airmailed a letter of proposal to the company to keep building the chassis for a special Shelby sports car to be powered by an American V8."
We all know where this went. A light, well built chassis with an engine that was never intended for it, and it is the same idea now.
I like NA power and applaud anyone who wants to be innovative.
P.S. I did a search for "V8 240" and couldn't find that username... Anyone remember what this guys name was? I would like to get into contact with him.
