Yes it absolutly can be done and its good bc your insurance company will still think its a v6 Let me know if i can help you out with the swap.

yea until you wreck it they see the V8 and they drop you for not letting them know so they could charge you the correct rate for your car

Im a PA state inspector and doing that can get somewhat iffy, if we want to, we can easily fail it, if you come in respectful then odds are we wont push the fact
