I doubt it would be that hard to swap a V8 in there, especially when they came factory with them...

I'm guessing, you're probably going to need a set of V8 springs up front...As far as the axle goes, what does a 6 cylinder come with, a 10-bolt?...

anything else i should know before doing the swap?

if i remember correct u need new steering linkage,the v8 springs and new motor mounts and feul lines.i think thats what u need

and the crossmember mounts, i beleive u only need to upgrade the fuel line if u plan on making a lot of horsepower.
