264GL

I have a 264GL which is fitted with a 1985 B28 which has developed a loud
knock under the lifter cover.

What other engines fit a 264GL. I have this thing that I would like to put a
non standard V8 in it !!

Any ideas.

 

Thanks... it is automatic... much modification required ?

 

That makes it easy, most people doing this use a transmission from the same
car the donor engine came from, I don't know much about the american stuff
(ironic perhaps since I live here) but you should be able to get a 302 V8
and a tranny out of a mustang, cougar, etc.

 

You could also look at the pictures of my wife's 264 on our web
site (link in sig). A 350 chev is a remarkably easy fit.

 

Go for it mate.
I did my conversion here in Australia in 1986.
Car was great to the end.Got wiped out a week ago.
It is a write off.A bit sad as I had owned it for 20 years.
It was part of the family.
Grahame.

 

Welcome to the downside of having a light, powerful V-6...that just
happens to self-destruct its valve gear. Yes, there are at least two
V-8 engines that can be made to fit , with adapter kits. One's a Ford
and the other a Chevy. People who have done it post here regularly,
so stay turned or do a Google search on "V8" in this newsgroup.
You can also install the Volvo turbo four.
