You want to put a 400 ci small block in a 4th gen? If it's a v6 you'll defiantly need a new k-member, headers might be a bit of a challenge as well as distributor, but i'm pretty sure it's been done again.

I hope I understood you correctly, your words are very cluttered.

All caps really screws up the appearance of your post and makes it even more difficult to read, because the board software converts "all caps" so that only the first letter of each word is a "cap". Putting the "space" before the period as you did, rather than after it, seems to have confused the software even more.

Re: Has Been Ask To Many Times V6 To V8

K-Member
Springs
Mounts
Harness
PCM
Radiator
LS1 Brake Upgrade
Y-Pipe
Exhaust Upgrade

Few more things, but not a long list. A lot of work, and hassle as far as the wiring goes. Most people's reply to this, is usually:

A) Buy a V8 car, sell the V6
B) Go LS4/6 if you're doing it
C) I did it, I'm happy
D) I did it, I'm happy but wouldn't do again
E) Should have bought a V8 in the first place
F) Why would you do that
G) K-Member post
H) Search

As you can see (F) and (G) x 2 is already here, but expect all of the above if this thread gets off the ground. :P

I did it in a 95, (albeit a 350 crate) and I pick (B) or (B2) which is "Just forget the old school motor, and drop in an LT1/LS1". Seriously, the wiring and mods for an old gen 1 and 2 block are a pain in the neck.
