I have heard tell of/seen pictures of,
slipping a V-8 into one. I'm not sure how
they handled the flywheel/clutch situation.
May of just lengthened the frame rails,
used the clutch assembly on the V-8, and
just ran a shaft through an empty M bell
housing. I really don't know what they did.
Just guessing that would be easier than
trying to fabricate a bell housing or an
adapter, and trying to use the M flywheel
and clutch assembly.

I don't know about being a candidate for a
hot rod. To much difference between 4th and
5th gear in an M. Alot of RPM's would
likely just make 4th gear equivalent to
5th. And 5th gear, a gear you'd just want
to stay out of.
I wouldn't be scared to take an M down the
road at 20 to 25 MPH (10 MPH over thier top
speed). But if you are thinking of speeds
over 30 MPH, I would sure do something
different than converting an M into a hot
rod. I'd go to the junk yard, and find an
old car or truck body and chasis. Put your
rebuilt V-8 in that. Go down the road as
fast as you want with your V-8, and have no
worries.

Alot of vehicles parked in junkyards with
only engine or transmission problems.
