im guessing.. v8 k frame engine mounts? tailshaft to hold the power if it doesnt already... diff would be ok, but better off gettin something better/stronger u got the v8 loom, so that shouldnt be a problem wiring up v8 cluster? tranny mounts should be same, if ur using same auto/auto or manual/manual

basically easiest way... drop the k frame with motor and box still attached, rip the loom out of the car and leave attatched to motor, ditch the vs ss shell and jack the front of vr up REALLY high and just slide it under and bolt it in best way, tried it once, will never do the 'swap over parts' thing again now. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
