This statement could not be more true. There are a hell of a lot of little things that need to be changed over. But again as Trouty said, get a parts car, it really is the easiest way.

I think if you want bang for buck tho, go the 6cyl Turbo.
For say, $4000 you will have a crazy 6cyl EA but for the same money you will have a stock standard EA V8.

When I began planning my build I spoke with some engineers first. They did tell me that it wouldnt be as easy getting a Mod plate for an EA V8 as the EA never came with one. Mind you, it naver came with a turbo either........ The choice is yours.

Id say, go the Turbo 6.

But if you decide on the V8 swap, give me a yell, i'm sure I can give you a few hints with it. Have a read of my "Keeping you posted 5.8L EBII" thread. Its full of info on the V8 swap.

Best of luck!!!

Thanks for the info i do appreciate it, i still love
the sound of a v8 , nothing comes close to the
sound of a v8 note .
Just wish id bought a late eb
or ed to avoid the work invloved.
