v6 to v8

[sketchy_89]

hey i just recently bought a whole vn calais 5 litre and the body n interior r pretty ****ed...ive alredy got another calais which is blue sittin at home with an awesome shell and interior which is v6...just wondering would it be worth putting the v8's engine and trans and all that into my blue one or not? and if so what else will i need to swap over...would it be like the loom tailshaft ecu and everything aswell?....cheers...kyle

Loom, box, engine, dash cluster, ecu, all V8 related gear (ignition), fuel system, K-frame, brakes, front suspension.

Not sure about tail shaft....

V8 diff had shot-peened gears making it stronger aswell...

aZk.

so it would pretty much be easier to swap some panels from my blue one to the other calais and to swap all the interior over to the new one from the blue one and get a quick paint job on it.

if the body and interior is fcked - imagine what condition the drive line is in.

yeh might be a bit easier job to swap the interior and panels from the blue one over
