Can 06 H3 take a V8

Ok, hope this question isnt too lame. When my 06 H3 engine goes kapput one day, can a V8 be dropped in, or has the Alpha engine compartment been enlarged to accommodate the new engine?

Thanks :confused:

Unless you have inlimited funds or some mad fabbing skeels, it can't be done. Many changes to the engine bay, bumper, grill etc.

bwaaa. pops and I crammed a small block in a 280z, sure you can toss one in there. Sawzall, my friend, take it to the firewall. No reason to get all technical, just make it work. :beerchug:
