what v8s fit the tuscan-and tvr v-8s of course like the new melling in particular. could somebody shed some light here?

This one's been pretty much done to death - there's loads of threads on it. Consensus is the AJPV8 is just too wide for the Tuscan, but it seems you can shoehorn a Chevvy short-block in there (see the thread at the top of this forum)

how does this affect the dynamics of the tuscan? do you have where is the car with the ajp8 motor-cuz for me the thing is for it to have a tvr motor not so much a v8, much less a rural chevy, as good as they defacto are, am wanting the scream of a tvr powerplant.
any replies...

Where have you been? On PH we have seen the AJP8 fitted into the T-chassis, as well as the SBC and some Ford V8s.

I put an ajp V8 into a Tuscan chassis today (21/11/05.) It fits extremely easily apart from different mountings will have to be made . I have the engine seven inches ( timing cover ) back from the chassis rail and it looks as if even the exhaust manifolds will fit , not that I would use them. David

am not much on any forums. so it has been done, right? what about the power concerns the chassis'more than can cope with it, not? thanx
