mate dont mean to burst ya bubble but its alot easier and less ****ing around and works out cheeper if u just buy a 5ltr vk. But if you realliy want to do it, i know you have to change k frame, and suposed to change the springs over but no1 ever does hope that helps ya out a little bit. good luck

^ completely right, dont bother with a conversion unless the car has huge sentimental value... otherwise sell yours and look in the post for a 5litre... cheap as hell these days with petrol prices.

You will need to change your springs and probably finned calipers and the bigger discs,if its a strong 5.0 get a better diff,if you can get the right shell why not?
