    Convert it to a bigger V8. I took the 4.6 out of mine and put a 5.0 Ford in it. Now I'm looking at supercharging mine.

    With a bigger (correct size) displacement engine, you may not 'need' to supercharge. Long ago had a visit by a gentlemen who'd shoe-horned a large Ford/Chev v8 into a Classic. Not sure if it was a 350/351", but it was.... quick off the mark, and I heard a distinct 'chirp' from all 4 wheels as it changed up into 2nd

    Fuel thirst was similar to mine, but was justified with the power it produced...

    As Uncle Josef once said, "Quantity has a quality all it's own..."

    Plenty of room for a 350 (small block Chev) in a classic, the only issue being older versions with a distributor that need a recess cut in to the top of the firewall.

    Sounds more like your visitor managed to put a big block in.

    cheers, DL

    .... and possibly rip the inside$ out of your tran$mi$$ion, Tran$fer case, diff$ and maybe even the CV joints....

    But it would be FUN doing it !

    If I couldn't get one, maybe this engine would be a viable 'Plan B'.

    And, just 25 moving parts in the drivetrain...
