hi all

tried an unsuccessful search.
how easy is it to drop a v8 into an early m103 powered 463?
which engine code is the best buy?

thanks

It's definitely be done before, both by enthusiasts and as an official model in the form of the limited editiion 500GE.

Sorry not much help but just to say it is possible.

Must updte signature, that car went two years ago !

Am led to believe 500 a lot easier than 560 (well, into 460's anyway)

Check out this link and PM the author. The engine he wanted was the M117 with alloy block. Not sure if it went into a 460 or 463 though, didn't look too hard.
