None.. It will all bolt straight in..
Only the obvious Exhaust,Wiring and rear Cross member if your using a Turbo gearbox..

and......... Brakes (4 wheel disc), V8 springs, engine mounts, and the diff wont hold up for long, so a V8 diff.

Yeah, there IS a fair bit of work involved.

Not just the brakes, I think you may - not sure about this but the booster and master cylinder needs to be different as well.

And also, you don't HAVE to have discs all round. Discs on front and drums on rear is fine. You just need to uprgrqade it all to V8 stuff though.

Don't forget radiator, tailshaft etc.

If it has discs onthe front then brakes are done.Try and buy a donor car and just swap it all over.Not that hard really.

[Jo3_Blo]

Nah not really. Buying a donor car is the best way to do it.

Yeah, it would have discs on the front, drums on the rear I think. But I think you still need to upgrade to V8 brakes coz the 6 ones are smaller.

[Tom_1569]

Im not 100% on HQ's but I know 4 wheel disc brakes was a standard for V8 on early commo's, and thats why it you have to upgrade to 4 wheel disc and V8 brakes, but that may not be 100%, just what I was told.

Either way Im pretty sure you would need to run V8 front brakes and a V8 (1inch?) booster.
