    You will need a T5 yoke fitted to your tailshaft. You would need a y pipe and cat. If your system is a 2.5" you might be able to use the rear section. You will need a clutch pedal fitted and change you auto brake pedal to a manual so probably easier to change it.

    The electrics need to be considered as well. You will need fabricate a gearbox crossmember.

    Your suspension for a V8 would be better changed to a 6 cylinder springs otherwise could be too rough.

    There is a thread about it on this site. Read it. It is most helpful.

    I have just almost completed mine. If you were to pay someone to do it it would cost a fortune. Their is plenty of info on this site.
