Well, I wanted to leave this one alone, but I can't.
StangGuy, my friend, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but NONE of the equipment in your car is going to work with this engine. There are a MASSIVE number of things you will have to change to make this work. Here are just a few examples: Electronic Control Module (computer) All engine compartment wiring (injectors, sensors, etc.) that will be different for the v-8 engine. Transmission (your v-6 unit will not work) Transmission crossmember Exhaust system Front suspension components (springs in particular) Front brake system (if you want to be able to stop) Not to mention- Driveshaft Rear differential Rear axles Every one of these things are different in a V-8 model car.
