[QUOTE="Big_T, post: 1197135, member: 16925"] OK so im making this thread because there are WAY to many rumors out there about the V6 conversion. Background: Im building a 302 block and have been looking for a great shell to put it in. I found a good candidate, but its a 95 v6. Questions: What do i NEED to get the car to run? What would i WANT to replace after i get it running? Clearly the things i would NEED are the Engine, trans, wiring harness, and ecu. What about the little things, i was told that the fuel lines are different on the V6 vs the V8, true or false? Does the gauge cluster need to be swapped out? im assuming yes. Brake system? i have been told yes and no. the rear end i know is a 7.5 and i will want to swap in the 8.8 rear but its not a necessity. Also suspension. i have been told the k members are different and the springs are softer, true or false? Radiators the same? alternator the same? steering pump the same? WHO NEEDS A/C AND SMOG! :p ALSO something i never heard anything about but would i need to weld exhaust hangers on 1/2 the car seeing as how the V6 only had a one side exhaust?! im assuming so. Any info on this topic would be GREAT before this shell gets sold to someone else! Thanks guys!!! remember facts are more helpful than rumors!!! [/QUOTE]
