    the simplist way would be to put another alloytec into it.

    its more economical to buy a commo with a v8 already in it cos you'll need

    k-frame
    gearbox (maybe)
    Radiator
    Exhaust
    Tune
    Diff (again maybe)
    Cluster reprogrammed

    and i'm sure there is more stuff.

    find & most importantly installing the engine loom will be the hardest bit. The looms gotta go through the firewall which is a bastard in itself
