I'm thinking about doing a V8 conversion on my VP around the end of this year, as i will finally have some garage space, and i also have a friend who is a retired mechanic, who has offered to help me out. I have a few questions which i was hoping some one could answer for me.
Are there any parts from my V6 that can be used with a V8, such as power steering pump/resivour, alternator, radiator ect? or are they all completey differnet?
Also, as far as the wiring goes, is this something that can be done by a novice, or is it best left to a professional? And can i use my existing gearbox, or did V8 use a different gearbox (auto)
I'm fairly confident in removing and installing the new motor, but is there anything i should be aware of, or some advice before i begin removing/installing
Thank you to anyone who can help me
