v6 to v8
#12
To do the swap right here's what you need:
94/95 K member
5.0 ECU, A9L is a good ecu, it's from a foxbody, and isn't hyper sensitive like 94/95s are
Wiring harness
Exhaust work (single to dual)
new cooling lines for a 94/95 5.0
belhousing for a 5.0 (assuming you have a T-5, the 4R70W auto isn't compatable, neither is the T-45)
94/95 5.0 shocks/struts (sixer shocks/struts aren't compatable)
94/95 5.0 springs
8.8" rear end (the 7.5 from a sixer will not hold)
94/95 drive shaft (if you change out the tranny)
Possibly a new radiator and fan
Motor Mounts
And probably a handful of other small parts
There is one member on the site that did a V6-V8 swap, he said he'll never do it again, and he had a donor car to work with (a wrecked V8) to strip the needed parts from. In short the only thing that's the same between a V6 and V8 is the basic frame and interior, each car is designed specifically for their engines.
