Thank you for your answer smile i am not good, But have some knowledge in fabrication. I have some other projects also that i have swapped out engines in and fabricated mounts etc:). I have a big workshop with needed tools 👍. I could always fix the 216 i have. But i do not have the motivation to fix it 😅 always wanted a v8 car, so i thought this was My opportunity. I know there is clearense issue with headers and steering box, and i guess the distributor also. That can be fixed.
Im not wanting more power. Just the sound of a v8. And more reliability then i have with the current 216. If a v8 would bolt on too My currently trans that would be awesome. Less work for me. If not i will swap out entire drivetrain
