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

[Todd Phenneger]

Well I encourage you to try it then.  I Dotn deny that it FITS,
but not with nothing else.  Think about it logically.  Lights
are different, the 5k has a grille that attaches to the Core
Support that comes all the way to the top.  What to do with the
Type 44 Grille.  On the V8 the hood protrudes into where the
Type 44 Grille is.  IT does fit but you cant simply bolt it on.
Errr, you can bolt it on but it wont look right.  YOu need that
matchign parts.
