Driving past a few Chev Lumina SS Utility vehicles (I just can't call it a bakkie), I got to thinking if the Chev V8 would be a suitable conversion on a IFS? Lets hear it from the guru's.
Pro's and con's please ladies and gents.

Re: Chev Lumina V8 conversion
There is two running in Cape town, both in SFA's, i would rather fit it in a KZTE (You've got the right box and diffs already), you'll need a serious brake upgrade, but it will be an exciting vehicle with more power than you can ever need.

It would be the best to use the Lumina's own box and have an adaptor made for the hilux transfer, swop the diff centres out with KZ centres
