It's a 2001 5.3 longblock, 118K miles, Vinci Ultra-Torque cam (210/218-551/551-116), LS6 yellow springs. All of the bolt-ons (front accessories, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, etc...) are from a 2005, and I have the computer and harness from an 05 as well.

I'll have to see what a fair price would be. As far as installation, I'm not sure on that either. I know some guys have done V6-V8 swaps, but the computer is different, as is the harness, maybe some other stuff. Not sure if the motor mounts are the same either.

In the picture of the dodges engine bay there are 2 vaccum lines you can barely see. It was a typical response to booth's post about a vaccum leak, and stating that the eclipse has about 20 different vac lines.

I'm sure it's possible, just depends on how much work you want to put into the conversion. Swapping from a small 8 to a big 8 is as easy as pulling the old one out and dropping the new one in. Some of the guys have done it in 4-5 hours
