    Default am i forgetting anything for a v8 conversion

    got a 5 speed v6 vp exec, and i'm bidding on v8 conversions on ebay, just want to know if i've included everything i'll need

    airbox top (think this will mate with the airbox bottom i have)
    shroud
    radiator &fans
    engine
    gearbox/clutch
    loom
    headers
    exhaust
    ignition gear (coil?)
    tailshaft?
    computer/memcal (if it's newer than vp i'll need a computer, otherwise not)
    kframe and mounts
    1" master cylinder/bigger booster
    dash

    do i need to do anything with the fuel pump(s) or front suspension? will the pedal box and cruise module i have be ok?

    Are you VP series two? Just curious if you hvae V8 brakes standard. Suspension is technically different, but you should be fine.

    Sounds to me like you'll have pretty much everything you need.
