Default 4.0 S197 V6 auto to V8 manual

so im considering a swap my 07 V6 auto to 2006 V8 manual

i have a complete donor car, gt manual. 06 gt
this donor has an upgraded clutch with 3k miles
and full AM exhaust

other than the obvious things i need to swap like pedal assembly,ecu's,master cylinder,trans mount,drive shaft,rear end

my question is, what else do i need to swap, the wiring harness is something im fuzzy on. and anyting else im forgetting.

Thanks.

Engine Harness is a must. Other than that you seem to have a fairly good gripe on the overall scenario of what you will need.

Trans and engine mounts might be different.

ECU, unless you have a tuner and can change the setting to manual.
Mine has an option to set AUTOMATIC or MANUAL...
