    i would like to know the same thing, as i have aquired an extra vc shell and was thinking of doing the v6 conversion, but i thought if i'm going to go to the trouble of a v6 why not upgrade it to the efi 8, is there any issues in regards to engineer certs e.t.c from stopping me doing this?

    I would image that the 5Ltr would be much the same as the V6 conversion, just using V8 part instead of V6 parts.
    Again with the 5.7Ltr, i think that it would be very similar to the V6. That is if it fits.

    Have a look at vkberlina's web page for some info on the 5Ltr conversion
