the fuel lines are little bit different in respect to size(length), but you can modify the 6 cly lines to fit with rubber fuel lines, the return line is smaller and the canister sits at the front. so u will have to modify it with some rubber hoses, or if u want u can cange the complete fuel lines with vl v8 one. the in tank pump is ok as long as u run a fuel pressure regualtor, as the carby dont need much pressure or you will blow some seals. wiring is easy with the dash but u will need to get a v8 dash otherwise your tacho will be out. all other guages will work, or u can just buy a moster tacho, you will also has to chage the speedo cable to a v8 trimatic one as it is different on the tranny end(i far as i remember). a/c and cruise control will hook up just need to connect the wires to the v8 crusie control box with a little bit of modification.

If its a six the transmission tunnel firewall area might need a little massaging as theres not much room there for the bigger driveline especially if you go a manual which is a good idea, you probably could get the tacho recalibrated if you wanted to keep the same dash.

if it`s a trimatic your putting in then no need to modify tunnel or firewall area.

thanks guys i just bought a 5 litre vl calais that i will use some of the pieces i need and will sell the rest if you need anything send a message thanks again .................
