Default 1966 - from a straight 6 to a V8

I have a 66 coupe and i want to go from a straight 6 to a V8. I have a couple of questions. What all needs to be done to the body? Can i do it, and if not who can? and how much would it be?

No bodymods, you can do it, but it will take lots of time and money. Again, easier, cheaper, and fasterto find a V8 car in better shape.

It is a very fun project to do though, and if you found a six in great condition that to me is worth more than all the work of changing the engine out... A good base is what I found and started with. It was a six, WAS...
