4cyl to V8 Conversion

I've been kicking around the idea of adding to my project list and found a 88 lx coupe for $500. It has the 2.3l 4 cyl and a bad automatic.

What needs to be changed, strengthed, recommendations to put a mild 347 storker and 5 spd into this? I know the motr/trans about drops in, but what about suspension, rear axle, 5 lug vs 4 lug, k member etc?

Thanks
Pete
