[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2869664, member: 29706"] Yeah, engine swaps are a pain with newer vehicles. If the harness is not the same the computer will not be either. Same with the motor mounts and probably even the transmission. You will also need to change the complete exhaust system since the V6 will likely have tubing that will restrict the V8 and even the radiator may be different. Could also be different mounting for the power steering and AC. If you have the time, money and knowledge as well as want to do a project with your son over a couple months I would say go for it. If you are just thinking it would be a cheap way to upgrade I would agree with selling the current one and finding a V8 version that you can do some upgrades on. [/QUOTE]
