Default v6 inline to v8 swap
Has anyone swapped their v6 inline for v8. I want to do a 350 sb chevy. What is the best way to go by this and what would be the best engine to use in this conversion?

I have seen a Corvette motor and an LS1 swapped into XJ's I'd go with the LS if I was to swap out my inline 6. Which will never happen except for a 4.6 stroker!
