Default RE: 4-banger to v-8 swap in a notch

so 86stang did the wiring workout without a bunch of modifying just curious about the whole wiring part of the deal this looks like it could be a pain in the ***.

what exactly do i need for the switch from 2.3 to efi 347 i mean as in wiring wise what/how much do i need ?anybody

as far as the rearend when i find one i think some better axles/gears if it doesnt have it already. control arms while im there and shocks and what about the shocks do they bolt up the same as far as 7.5 or 8.8?

yeh the shocks bolt up and as far as the wiring, im running a carb and my wiring harness was out of a 91 efi so when i went to turn the key i had nothing because the power loops throught the efi harness back to the computer to the key, so i cut ever plug from where it went and started connecting the wires i needed, just for guages and lights is all i have because i got rid of a/c and the heater box
