Can We Fit a V8 in our Classic Compact - Chevy Vega

Thank you for watching! We hope you like the video and consider subscribing!
In this video we are working on our 1975 Pontiac Astre (Chevy Vega) that we painted with rattle cans in a previous video. The 4 cylinder engine was very underpowered and was a problematic motor right from the factory. We are replacing it with a small block chevy 305. We know that a lot of people dislike these motors for their lack of power and prefer the 350, but for this small car, it will be plenty. We definitely run into some problems with clearance and just fitting it in the engine bay in general. any tips are much appreciated! We have done engine swaps before, but this is a new one for us! Thanks again for watching!
