Is it difficult to change my 94 Dak Sport from a V6 to a V8 and would I need to change the engine mounts?

I take it that your insalling a 318? I wouldn't think you would need engine mounts and you don't have to beef up your tranny if its a 46RH. But more than likley you got a 42RH.

If you install a Magnum V8, it'll fit the same mounting points. A pre-Magnum only mounts by the ears, so you'd need the bolt-in crossmember kit from engine_swaps.com. If you use the 42RH, it'd need serious strengthening to be reliable. The 46RH has larger guts, and will hold up better with less aftermarket beefing.
