RE: V8 into 258 humpster

["Widiker, John D" <john.widiker@xxxxxxx>]

Found a pretty cool looking fuel injection unit
(http://www.turbocity.com/product_info.php?products_id=25) Anyone have any
experience with adding a turbo to a 258?

Well drove it 300+ miles and got it home fine, it's very very nice, almost
no rust anywhere. Do need a passenger front fender as the one on the car is
pretty creased. No cracks in the dash, interior is super nice. Trunk looks
great and I could take my hands off the wheel for miles it tracked so
straight. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

Today I'm going to be looking for a fender, investigating v-8 swaps, looking
at turbos, and smiling my butt off the whole time!

I've never paid attention to the 6 to 8 swaps, but tomorrow I'm picking up a
1971 humpster with a six and am wondering how much I'll need to swap in my
extra 360. I know some of the cars require cross member swaps does this
apply to a 1971 Javelin too?? Thanks.
