L18 F-body swap Is it possible? how are the clearances and what would need to be done to make it work?
A search only turned up a thread with not much info on the topic.
EDIT:I don't think this would be breaking any forums rules, here is an informative link I found when searching on the net:

It retains the same bore centers as the old 7.4 L big-blocks, but stroke was upped by 9.4 mm to reach 8.1 L (8128 cc) for a total of 107.95 mm bore and 111 mm stroke. It is an all-iron engine (block and heads) with two valves per cylinder. Power output ranges from 225 hp to 340 hp (168 kW to 254 kW) and torque from 350 ft·lbf to 455 ft·lbf (475 N·m to 617 N·m).
