Re: I6 to v8 swap 66
Lot of work, but doable.
It's usually cheaper in the long run to find yourself a V-8 car. The suspension, brakes, steering, rear axle, etc are all different.

Re: I6 to v8 swap 66
its not that bad as they make it out to be ...but it will end up costing you a bit more money as i found that out - i did the same thing with my 68 but i took it a step further and went fuel injected

Re: I6 to v8 swap 66
Im doing that right now, just finishing it, swapping out the front suspension stuff and upgrading to the disc brakes. Lots of work, but I think I have gotten to know how my stang works better. Mustangs and fords did an article on it, go to their website and check it out.
