I dont know but it wouldnt be that practical because you would have to reinforce the front suspension to hold the extra weight of a V-8. The exige is not the car that needs a V-8 it needs a turbo charged, front-mount cooled, NOS spraying wonder of technology to get it's tires moving not a 1958 Ford introduction. Keep it simple put a bigger turbo on that car for more power not a natural V-8.
