Same motor mounts, you would need a different rear-end. 4cyl car came with a 7.5" Rear, and V8's came with an 8.8". The 7.5 will survive with a V8, if you aren't abusing it. You might need to upgrade the tranny and driveline. Not sure though.

Now a 4.6 liter into a 4.0 V6 car is a total waste of time and money, might as well turbo / supercharge the V6 instead of blowing tons of money on the conversion.

I have also heard of people doing the 4.6L V8 swap into Fox body mustangs. I would have to say thats probably a waste of time and money also.
Nice tangential argument Brian. Welcome to the SECCS debate club.
