Default Another newbie looking for advice.

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone could help out with an enquiry i have. I'm looking at doing a V8 conversion into a series II but am not a big fan of the chev idea. I'm a big fan of the mopar 360 & was wondering if anyone has done or seen done a conversion of that type before ? I've searche dhigh & low on the net & can't find anything other than chev or holden conversions. Someone has to be able to help me ?

Thanks

FWIW....

I've seen SB Ford V8s, Olds V8s, Chev 4.3 V6s, and Ford 250CID L6s installed in Jags so, "if there's a will, there's a way". But....if you're after a pre-fab "kit" (are you?) I don't think you'll find anything except for a Chevy V8.

Cheers
DD

Thanks guys. Not necessarily after a prefab kit as such. Have looked a little deeper into it & may be able to modify or copy to some extent a chev kit to suit the mopar/Torqueflite combo. Have also recently found a mint S1 for a fantastic price & am thinking it would be too good to *******ise. May buy it & just keep it bog stock for the time being. Any way to extact a few extra ponies from the 4.2 ?
