HOW ABOUT A 1979 318 V-8 IN MY '73 SCAMP?

Woah, what’s with the caps lock?

First off, do you have the tools needed for the work? If not, add that into your budget before buying components for the upgrade. Also, do some reading (searching on this forum) to educate yourself on the basics. You will realise a slant 6 transmission will not fit on small block V8.

Why not drive the car for a bit as is to learn about things before diving in with the engine upgrade? I’m imagining a flurry of posts each weekend or every evening you have a chance to work on the car asking about something and perhaps being frustrated with not getting responses within a short timeframe as your sitting beside your car waiting for a response.
