Does anyone know how much I will need to change if I am doing a motor swap from the 4 cyl. to the V8. Please let me know what you think I will need to get. I was told that I could stay with the same tranny. But let me know if this is correct. Thanks

I did a 6 --> 8 swap 'bout two years ago and it was pretty straight forward. The 4 cylinder would be a bit different. You would have to replace pretty much everything.

Engine, mounts, pcm, harnesses, trans, etc.

Thats also a pretty big difference in weight so you may have to change the springs too. If you tell us what year you have, more people might help out.

I've got a Club Cab '98. Someone told me I wouldn't have to change much besides the headers...?
