Hello, my name is Robert Penn and I am about to pick up a 73 luv. I was planning on fixing up the origanal motor in it and driving it that way for a while. Here is my ?.... how hard is to swap in a V-8? I know the header's are a problem. Well I think they are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at the V8 swap article in the Information section of the main site here. It should answer a lot of your questions. You can find it at http://www.luvtruck.com/Information.htm

Headers arent that big a deal.my hooker headers fit good even with the engine sitting way back.
