Just curious: Has anyone converted a V8 to a 5cyl MC Engine?

[Henry A Harper III]

Since it already had a V8, why not an LT1? :) That would probably be easier
than trying to put the LT1 where an I5 was originally...or would it be
*too* easy then, since the I5->LT1 has "been done"?

Thinking out of the box...?
