Can you drop a V8 in that? Because that would be amazing. (PS, I really like the looks, since you all must care about my opinion)

The lowered hood worries me. Usually length isn't the problem with a V8, but height is.

I know for sure you couldn't probably get a ford 5.0 in there, but maybe a weirder LS?

A 302 is the only short-deck motor that would likely fit, or an LS block with clever heads and intake that keeps the height low is possible maybe.

I bet the speed version has a big functional hood scoop to fit whatever additions they make.

All the more reason for aftermarket V8 hoods with huge bulges!

LS will fit no problem, especially a dry sump LS7 or LS3 with a shorter pan.
