[V8] Transplants

[Carlie Bentley]

Ahh, I've done one Volvo Swap on an 87 740GLE, we stuck a 91 Mustang LX 
5.0 in it and man was it a blast to drive. We were expecting it to be 
nose heavy but I guess the Turbo Diesel that came out was mostly lead 
anyway.
By the way, those Bertones are very nice, with the extreme torque of the 
SB Ford.
