Is a diff necessary? I'm learning right along with you I'm sure the merv can answer this

V6 cars have an open rear..a Posi is a must.

Would it be better to just buy a ford 9" since you already have to buy a rearend? Unless you have a parts car of course.

this should be refined and posted as a sticky
or make another thread with the wiring, gages and fuel system info as sticky for v6 to v8 swap
nice work MERV!

Depends on the Engine/Drivetrain..with my setup I'll murder a 10-bolt pretty much instantly..lol..I already had the Moser so it was just a simple install.


Thanks man..my other threads are really informative too..never ended up as stickys tho.

Wiring was a cakewalk, the Gauges were really simple..I can work with V6 or V8 Gauges, the Fuel Gauge is the only thing I have left to mess with.

Fuel System was easy too, just a matter of having the correct lines to make it work.

Sticky And also your other threads with all of the glorious info we need.

Dork. At least your ok though.

Yup..car is a car, plenty of em. Just a chassis.
The important **** is intact, Engine runs at 75psi, still full of oil..I drove it on the Trailer, it actually drives straight..Steering is def fucked up somewhere tho..
Airbags didnt deploy so I can sell the interior.

Darn it, sorry to hear that. At least the important stuff is still in working order... #1 you and #2 the driveline! I was able to drive away from my Thunderbird wreck without anything but a police report and bruised fenders which is all that really matters.

Hold on to your wrenches, the_merv is on the prowl for another project!

Im about to embark on a similar build with my V6 bird. The only thing I need to get is an 01 PCM so that I can tune it with HP (have an 01 credit). Would anyone in here know if I need to just find an 01 PCM, or can I buy one of those off eBay from PCM for less where they would change the vin to match the V6?
