You'd probably be better off selling your car and buying a V8 car. Its quite a bit of work. The gauges, wiring harness, computer, K member and a few other things have to be swapped.

Not to mention you aren't going to be happy if you just put a stock motor in there.

I have a buddy that just went from a V6 to an LT1 and ended up spending about 3X as much money as he first thought he would...
