[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Yup, 390ci is roughly 6.5ltr and was anywhere from (from memory) 250hp to 350hp in original form (although it has catastrophically restrictive iron heads with two tiny valves per cylinder).. I also have a 428ci FE - roughly 7ltr - though that has Edelbrock aluminium heads and TWR throttle bodies, so will hopefully put out an awful lot more than 300hp

(And while the headline hp figures look low, remember that some of these engines will have more torque at 1000rpm than a lot of cars have peak..)

.....should drop nicely into that old Datsun of yours, Aaron.....

V8 in a datsun, yes please 

I would love a 240Z with a big V8 up front Trouble is that over here your options for a 240Z are either 'absolute basket case rust bucket' or 'recently restored with enormous price tag'

The later 260Z and 280ZX never quite held the same appeal for me. Mainly designed with the American meerkat in mind, I think.
