You shouldn't have to change much, you may have to do an SVA test to bring it to UK standards, usually aligning headlights for driving on the lefthand side and running a rear foglight http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roads/vehi...approvalscheme
if you can find a car importer preferably dealing with US imports they can take care of all of it, if you're already over here pick up a copy of classic American, you can find a lot of contacts in there, i used David Boatright in Essex to import mine plus do the SVA.

Oh you'll also need side markers, the little orange lights you can see above my SS badges, Speed inc does does some cool lights that are integrated into the side mirrors, i wish i'd seen those first, look in the Appearance section under more photos for pics.

Waddup! Yeah I am building my motor up in the Garage right now. I think you have to have cats on the vehicle. There are shaddy spots like anywhere else that you can go to. Just gotta look for them. Im at Mildy hole 95RS I PCS next June so look me up whenever you get here. Theres a guy in the SOG that has a TA its built up pretty good. I really dont think that you will have any issues. Make sure you have a good set of tires and all your bushings rod ends **** like that are servicible that is what they look at too. If you think you got something worn out replace it now. Anyway you should bring your car over tha tway you can euro trip it. I drove my car from UK to Greece ***** to the wall.
