i've been quite curious as of late, i've seen a few youtube videos of chrysler 318 swapped xj's, and the thought came to me that if a 318 can be stuffed in one of these things, and a 360 is basically a 318 with a different bore and stroke.
so theoretically it should be almost exactly the same size (or at least that is the case with an LA block), which is where the question comes into play.
being that the only chrysler V8 swaps i've seen are magnum blocks, is there a significant size difference between the magnum and LA blocks that would not allow an LA block to fit in our xj's? or is it possible that maybe with a magnum head conversion one might still be able to stuff an LA block 360 into an xj?
(take into account that i'd even be willing to eliminate, or modify inner fenders for such a thing)
EDIT: did a search as well, couldn't find anything other than the more common LS or 350 swaps
