fox body engine swap help

[Lucious Leah]

what all needs to be changed out on the suspension and steering and brakes and such to make a 4 cyclinder car like a v8 car?

I found a possible v8 engine to swap into my fox body project, I'm gonna needs to; start collecting parts or find a good donor car.

Well if you want a drag car you can keep the springs for one. Just need V8 motor mounts as the k-members are the same. Will have to reroute fuel lines to clear a dual exhaust and install a hangers for second set of tailpipes. You need double hump trans crossmember. You will need a larger radiator and the correct hoses. If going fuel injected you need the fuel rails and engine harness plus computer. Hmm there's a lot more; just depends how complete of an engine you will be getting. Also remember to upgrade to a trans strong enough for the V8 and an 8.8 rear is recommended but not required until you try to hop it up.

Power steering pump just needs to be swapped into the V8 bracket and the brakes will work but are an inch smaller than the V8 brakes in front. Would need the V8 spindles, rotors and calipers to upgrade.
