Convert 1984 from V6 to V8?

Jun 27, 2005 4 Replies

Hey all -



This is a long way out since I am not done with my '68 yet, but if I were to convert a 1984 hatchback from V6 to V8, what all would be involved? I would assume I'd need:


1) basically a complete drive train - tranny, shaft, rear end
2) heavier suspension all the way around

Past that, what?

Seems like it would be easier to sell it and find a V8 car.

A complete roll-over wreck. Exchange EVERYTHING!

Cheapest and most efficient way to do what you want is to get a hoist, and attach it to the radiator cap. Lift the cap up, and replace everything underneath it with a V8 car.

unless you just have

A. Lots of free time B. Lots of extra money. C. Some type of unexplained attachment to THAT car. D. Access to lots of FREE parts (but see A anyway)

Hmm... I've got plenty of C, but could use some more of A, B, and D. :)
