7.5L or 5.8
to replace my '94 4.9? I know this isn't the engine swap section but I thought I might have a better chance of getting an answer over here. Anyway, what all would I need other than the obvious motor and mechanical parts? I've never done a computer controlled engine swap so I'm not too sure what all electronics I would need or would be necessary to replace. I assume the main things would be a computer and harness.
Thanks

Yes you'll need all those things, and a transmission too if you opt for the 460. Neither of these swaps is going to be simple since you're starting with a 6 cylinder, but at least the 5.8 will bolt up to the existing tranny. You will also need the frame perches and mounts for the V8 as well as the rad.

I hear ya on starting from scratch. Probably gonna cost me a small fortune by the time I get all the necessary V8 parts together. Might be easier to find a van with a 5.8 and go from there.
If I went that route, I don't know even where to begin looking for one. A regular bone yard?
