V8 into a Stag

[Ultra Sound Guy]

I absolutely love the Stag, and have owned one. I’m looking for a new project car and want to get a Stag with a normally aspirated V8 with more than 400 BHP
Can anyone point me towards an engine/ gearbox combination which woul not require anybody mods but would allow a decent manifold setup?

Some interesting options there! I guess I'm really looking for a very narrow V8!
Or some 'trick' headers?

Why on earth would you want 400bhp in a Stag? Basically you'll need to build a complete drivetrain and suspension system, then drop a Stag body over it.

And?

Why not?

Exactly!

I just happen to think that it's a particularly good looking car, just doesn't have enough grunt!

OK, I'd probably settle for 350BHP!
