I can't remember the specifics, but I was looking to do a V8 conversion to my car. In the end I didn't go ahead for a few reasons, but the main advice I'd offer is to buy the whole car off him and swap all wiring, dash, etc etc.

I agree private9, it's far easier doing the conversion with the whole car for the transplant!!!
The main issue wouldn't be the mechanicals but more the wiring... Having the whole loom, computer, engine etc... would make life easy converting. With the whole car if something doesn't fit just swap it from donor car!!! Also not sure could anyone confirm if transmission tunnels are different between 6's & 8"s. |
