Hi Guys, I am new to the forum, I live in Southampton and have been looking around the board for various bits of info to help me with my project. OK, here we go, I have a 2001 75 connoisseur 2.5v6, I also have a 1990 Mustang 5.0 Gt engine fitted with a vortech supercharger and manual box. I want to remove the V6 and shoehorn the V8 in its place.

I know that the tunnel has to be modded but what else, there is a V8 heater box on ebay, so I presume that is different. Will a BMW M3 rear cradle fit or will I need to source a Rover/MG V8 unit. Any info or pics that you jolly clever chaps could help me with would be greatly appreciated.
