G'day All,
I'm thinking of putting a V8 into the ronner, and I know you have to change engine mounts, radiator and coil springs, but what else do I need to change, e.g. can I still use the same cross member, tailshaft and gearbox (aussie 4 speed)or do they have to be changed too? is a 4 speed box the same for a 6 and an 8? I'm not doing it just yet but I would like to know excactly what I need and do it all in one hit as it is a work vehicle and cant be off the road too long. Any advice will be appreciated.
