depends on what state you are, how much Zook you want to keep, how much $$$ you have, how good your fabrication skills are.
To put a V8 in you will need to upgrade your diffs annd brakes, you will need to strengthen or replace the chassis so why not just get a rangie etc.
One of NAM's projects was going to be a rover V8 powered Zook and the engineer wasn't too keen on thhe strength of the Zook components. Alot of work for a neglible outcome and the possibility of doing it legally are going to be slim and costly

seriously why bother. Do as Dozoor has done get a rangie and rebody it with a Sierra. Easier, quicker and cheaper.tozook wrote:it will be a 2 year project

Sure, but have you seen the "conditions for use" for the Merlin engined '55. Lets just say he can drive it on the road, but it's not really "road registered" as we know it.
As much as I love sierras, I love their lightness more. by the time you fabbed everything required to run a 304 in a sierra (which will also include stretching the front or heavily modifying the firewall, completely reworking the chassis, whole driveline etcetctec you might as well have just bought a rangie, gq or something else that will take an 8 easier, or has one anyway,because you will pretty much have a car as heavy as a rangie with a really cramped cab, and with heaps of fab that is a pain to fix.
Just buy a bigger car and don't worry about the panel damage.
