prolly the only turn key conversion you will find is buying a LUV already equipped with a V8.

Ok, throw down about $6500 for a crate motor, and slap on a tranny, a couple of EASY fabricated motor mounts, turn the key, baby. :lol:

i dont think there is a "turn key" per say. a 350/350 isnt that hard to scratch in yourself, and if you buy a kit, there will still be a whole lot to do yourself.

dang, if I can do it. anyone can :drinking: :crazyeyes: :puppydogeyes: :sleeping:

Thanks for the information, thought was if a step by step converison
was available, maybe it would by alittle easier to attempt... Not
experienced in doing modifications... Might be getting over my head here!! :roll: :oops:

Its not a turn key mod but it can be a smooth conversion. Buy some motor mounts for it, fit the motor and trans to the truck, and build everything else you need around it.
