: ON THE SKI KING PAGE THEY MENTION USING A JEEP OR FORD V8 AS THESE PLANS ARE QUITE OLD WOULD THEY BE TALKING ABOUT THE FORD WINDSOR MOTOR OR SOMTHING OLDER. WOULD IT BE POSIBLE TO USE A 289 WINDSOR OR WOULD A 6CYL OF LESS POWER BE MORE SUITABLE. ANY COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED

It sounds to me from reading the copy on the SKI KING page that the limiting factor is the physical size of the engine, and they are interested in having a short package. Perhaps a more modern V-6 would fill the bill.
