Hi , I don't know from personal experience anything about it but there was some discussion last fall about it on here . Take this with a grain of salt but someone mentioned that the rear end would hold up to a small-block , I guess chevy or ford if the rpm's were limited . I would think that if it was de-tuned severely down to around a hundred horse or so it would work for a while if the rear end ( trany back ) was rebuilt to new specs or better . I don't know the torque rating for a stock M engine but my guess is that a small block puts out as much just over idle with 8 cylinders as the four does at full throttle . JMHO . Good luck with it ! It sounds like it would be fun!!! ...Randy

PS - I got a real healthy chevy engine with less than 1500 miles on it I'd sell for about $2500 with a six puck disk McCleod roller racing clutch , high nickle 4-bolt main block , scorpion roller rockers , world product 1.94 SR heads , hooker headers , holley truck avenger carb , moroso intake , polished cast aluminum M/T tall valve covers , polished and balanced crank , align bored , 9.5 - 1 compression , swirl polished valves and Rhoades lifters and pistons that I can't remember the name of with polished flat tops , It comes with a MSD billet ready to run distributor and your choice of a crane or jacobs ignition msd box both with rev control ( not installed yet ) and Blue max 9 mil plug wires . I put over $3500 in it about three years ago . Just lost interest since there's nowhere near me to go four wheeling and it's in a 75 chevy short box 4x4 , you get the truck for free ;) .
