Haha, exactly. It's like saying an F16 is based on a P51 mustang.

Just change pulleys and a little bit more.

Regardless of heritage, all you V8 owners need to hope for is that they used a better passenger side valve cover gasket that doesn't drip oil into the alternator. And that they replaced the plastic coolant crossover lines with metal ones that won't get brittle and crack, causing all the coolant to immediately leave. Ever notice how many V8 LR4's are for sale for $12K that need a new $12K engine?
