I was wondering if I put a built 327 in a Samurai, would it wheelie if I popped the clutch (on pavement)?

There is a lot of factors to the answer. I can tell you that it isn't very hard to build a v8 sami so that it will pull the front end on pavement.

How hard was it to fit the engine in there.. or did you just put the body on another chassis? I am now noticing the rear wheels and how they don't fit under the fender well.

[2zuks383]

No, the wheelbase was lengthened out for longer springs and all, but the frame and everything is Suzuki. It is a tight fit for sure.

I am looking at doing this to my sammy. What did you use for axles, transfer case, tranny, did you have to move the rearend back?

[2zuks383]

This one has a 350 platform chevy smallblock with a th 350 that is adapted to a toyota transfer case. It is using toyota axles. The rear doesn't have to be moved back, but it is on this one. I have another one that has a 327/th350/305 combo. The rear isn't moved back at all on that one.

[2zuks383]

It has 35's on it. They are 35-15.50-15 tsl/sx's. The motor is very tight. It does fit, even with the HEI distributor though.
