i was wondering how hard it would be to make a 4 cyl coupe to a v8.what about price.im goona pick up a 4 for 400 and was wonder a bout sticking a 308 in it.sound good or to pricey.how much do you think itll take.please help want to hurry and get it

you need:

cooling system
fuel system
computer
wiring harness
rear end
transmision
suspension.

it would be easier to find a shell with v-8 computer and wiring harness and than drop in a 308.

thanks bro awsome.

the rear isn't a nec until it goes as gt;s has the 7.5 before the upgrade

going carb would make things alot easier because a victor intake and carb can be had for a few 100 and the dist for 100

Do you still need the computer for that harness? Or just the Mass Air Meter then just plug and play or what?
