Anyone know exactly whats required for this swap?
I'm assuming you just need the V8 engine crossmember, what about the gearbox one & tailshaft? (planning a T5 at this stage)
Anything else to look out for?

New engine (obviously)
New gearbox, engine mounts, tailshaft, brakes, diff & rear axle, radiator, crossmembers and I would recommend getting new suspension to as your current setup would be made for a 6cyl. (yes there is a difference, maybe not much but hey they designed different setups for a reason.)
There might be more but thats what I can think of now, I wanted to do this when I had my 6pot VK Calais.
cheers
