I dont know what you would have to do to the front end but for sure you will need to put a limited slip or posi 8.8 inch rearend to handle the new found power. Of course this isnt something you would just have to do but you know damn good and well after you finish you engine swap first thing your gonna want to do is haul *** . I had a friend in high school that went through the engine swap. His car was fast as hell cause he went to a 351 fi, Off the line though he would get dusted cause he would spin the hell out of the one tire. I dont think he did any mods except for the motor and pony rims with fat tires.
