I've seen a 572cid crate engine in a 4th gen if it was done a 8.1L can be done it has all the same external dimensions. It has the engine old style engine mount bolt pattern and the same bell housing bolt pattern. Check out the truck section similar subjects have come up lately.

That is going to be one nose-heavy car. But a brute.

I know BMR makes some K-members for SBC/BBC swaps

gens yet.
