Welcome to the site. I have a '80 Luv too! If you go to the Drivetrain Upgrade section, there are plenty of posts for a V-8 conversion. I'm leaving mine a stock 4 banger for now as I have enough V-8's to pump gas into right now! Have fun with the Luv! :D

Welcome to the site!

You can spend hours and hours going thru the various threads for technical, body, parts sources and also
various restorations. There are numerous threads on the conversion to V-8's.

Welcome to the site. Sounds like you found yourself a pretty nice Luv. You will have to post some pictures.
