4000q v8 swap ?

[Todd Phenneger]

I'll second everythign Mike said except one thing.  Pasted below
about the V8 being heavier than the 5-cyl.  Its not a big
difference.  In fact, I believe the 20vt motor is heavier or
identical in weight.  The V8 Block is not that heavy.  I've
lifted a fully assembled one with heads, IM, Exh manifolds, etc
with 2 friends and it wasn't to bad.  I dont have the exact
numbers but it should be nothing that swappign in some CQ
springs wouldnt take care of.  ANd I bet the weight Dist wouldnt
chagne much Either since its a shorter block.
  But I concur on everything else.  not an easy swap by any
means.
