Re: 4cyl to V8 Conversion

If you had a straight 6, You would need to change the K-Member. The K-Member is the engine cradle. The 4 banger is the same as the 8. So you are all set. I would put a manual steering rack in, while your at it, then you don't need to waste power on power steering, and you get a better steering ratio.

Everything else just drops right in, it is an easy change.

You should upgrade to 5 lugs all around. The 4 lug rear axle will not last very long.
