V8 is fun to think about. Jet engines are just cool, but this will probably get 6 cyl cause it is almost a straight swap. No need to worry about fenders, tranny tunnels, steering boxes, steering linkages, crappy light weight front suspension or any of that.
JY 6 and T5, off the shelf install kit, couple body panels a trip to el cheapo paint shop and she's on cl.
