does anyone know if it is possible to squeeze a 3.5L range rover v8 into my sierra? if so, what sort of mods would be needed? does not have to be road legal?

If you are in NSW i cant see why not. If they can pass a suzuki with a 3.8 commodore V6, they should pass a 3.5 V8. Im sure they mesure off engine compacity not the amount of cylinders.
