Can 06 H3 take a V8

[FishnMan]

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

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

The frame was also modified on the Alpha.

We did the engine compartment changes about a year ago, so if youre 3 was made within the last year it should take a v8, as far as the frame goes the biggest thing that changed was the engine mounts and some bracketry

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.
