Well you can't just "drop" a 4.6 in there and think it's going to work. But okedoke this will get you started-

I really couldn't because I've never done it.

I'm sure there's someone on here who has that could probably give you a basic run down of the majority of parts needed and cost. I'm sure it gets up there pretty quickly especially if you're paying a garage to do it. And sry for the google thing lol I can't resist using it sometimes.

Personally though I would only do that if I absolutely had to replace the engine anyways. You're talking alot of work.

You can get one at the dealership for pretty cheap.
It already comes attached to a GT to boot.
Thats the cheapest way....

If you're asking if the 8.8 is better, of course it is. You can get a complete 8.8 with T-Lok and 3.73's or 4.10's all set and ready to install take-off for just under $900.00 and yeah, it will handle more than your 7.5

Well worth it by a mile I think. I'll be getting it this summer myself most likely.

If your sixxer is mostly stock, just trade it in for a GT.

Don't try to "build" your own GT.
