Heard of a guy in Kent who did but never heard of it on the road !

With power comes the weight - another 100 ~ 150 lbs
over the front axle .. could spoil a good thing !

My other car ( other than a 350 wedge) is a Dutton with a 302 in it.Mine not finished yet but this engine makes a lot of sense.Power, cost , durability.With aluminium parts the weight can be brought down.Thing is a 302 weighs 460 1bs and v6 about 400.There is not a lot in it and the two are poles apart.
