Bob Brandys did a V-8 swap in his BTTF car. Not a chevy though. He used a Land Rover V-8 if I recall correctly. As for the trans, again, if I recall correctly he used one from a Porsche. I believe he also converted the car to an automatic when he did the swap. But, I'm sure he, or someone else here who has done a V-8 swap, would be able to elaborate more on things like what types of transmissions will work or anything else that needs to be rebuilt, replaced, or swapped in the V- 8 conversion proccess.

My D was parked next to your time machine at the BTTF showing at Marcus Theaters in Orland Park.)
