V8 swap would it be worth it over all?

[QUOTE="shawn stonbraker 2, post: 816640, member: 62109"] Rich is correct. I've been a member since 2003 and have read all the posts about how easy it should be to do and the "direct bolt on" conversion. Nobody has done it yet or if they did, they didn't post about it. (which doesn't make sense with the overwelming response those have gotten about how it isn't going to be that simple) Still leads me to believe like Rich, that it hasn't or can't be done without some type of major modifying. Trust me, if it was done and done simply, someone would have posted it on here and people would have gone nuts about it since everyone would like to have a ST with a V8. I'm also sure if it was going to be simple and cost effective, Tonka would have done it instead of going with the 350 swap he did. He still had to do some modifying to the mounts and such. Instead of argueing about it, do it then post the pics on here and watch how quickly the replies come. I for one would be interested in seeing how it goes together and just how much the cost was.;) [/QUOTE]
