Alright so i be decided on swapping in a v8. Im power hungry and truly enjoy the sound of a v8 . So im pretty sure ive decided on the 5.3. It has decent power, decent economy, and good reliability.. as well as I ve heard the chevy v8 s are the easier swaps.
i have some questions and am in need of some help. I need to know what I'm getting into. Obviously ill need to have a complete motor with all of the accessories. An adaptor, motor mounts, what else....?
Where can I source the adaptor and motor mounts?
is there a wiring harness for this? Or is it something that I can take to a fab shop and have the chevy ecu wired in?
I have yet to decide what transmission to go with. Is the toy transmission capable off dealing well with a v8?
As you can see I have several open ends here. My 1fe is getting tired with the 275000 miles...
Any help and insight is greatly appreciated. I am serious about doing this and i want to get everything together so I can do it within the next 2 months!
Thanks ya ll
