conversion to V8

The best way, believe it or not, is to find a junk V8 Mustang, same year, and take all the parts.

you will need these V8 specific items:
V8 5 lug axle housing, axles, rear brakes, leaf springs

V8 driveshaft

V8 transmission

V8 front springs

V8 front brake assembly (5 lug)

V8 steering linkage


probably some other stuff i am leaving out.... it's not a easy task unless you have a junked V8 car side by side.
