[andremi3]

Hello TVR friends

Does anybody know whether a chevy small block
fits into a TVR V8s?

Don't see why not with a bit of jiggery pokery. The 5.7 fits in a chimaera...

If you are determined enough anything fits.
there is a mini van somewhere(rwd)with this engine fitted,the v8s engine bay is cavernous compared.good luck

The small block engine is a bit more compact than the LSx engines being iron rather than alloy. If it this engine you are looking at rather than the LSx then beware of a bit more weight at the front of the car...

I'm not sure it would make the car any more "fun" though.. before embarking on a major task have you seen the threads in the Chim area about Turbo kits for 400 engines..?

It's called "The Beast" Red IIRC. There is also a std mini with a RV8 in the front of it.
