Shooting from the hip here but you're going to need to do quite a bit of rewiring, probably need to beef up the transmission, get a bigger radiator, new exhaust system and about a million other little tidbits that will pop up.

It's been done a million times by a million people so it certainly can be done but don't enter into it thinking it's a slam dunk.
