You'll want the wiring harness for under the hood.
Also, depending on which way you want to do it, you'll have to switch the fuel system to returnless or get a custom return style rail for the newer split port motor.

Because it's a waste of money to swap in a V8. If you want a V8 - start with one. I keep saying this, and then I keep repeating why.
