yea going to a bigger motor , you will need that eng, puther , to go along ,an the newer vechiles the tranny's shift points are controlled by puther also,, On the more current vechiles I cant really tell you point by point , , But we put a 302 an a AOD in a Bronco 2, 1987 model, it had the 2.9 liter an forget the tranny., But yea had to change to 302 puther an do a lot of wiring schemic reading an splicing , put a rear axle outta a 150 in it , of course had to shorten the axle tubes too , the drive shaft was funny looking , only about foot long , But it sure would pull a boat trailer !!!!!

Yea thats right and your going to need all the wire harness for the extra cylinders. Its best to have the whole car there to pick and take.

Yep get an every thing you can think of , Even if you dont use it , Exhast system, 02 sensor, Drive line, Diff yoke, You going to need a camera, several rolls of film, a digtal would be best.
Get a good note pad, get some wire markers , there a sheet of # stickers, for wrapping around wires , hoses ,, You can get them at Radio Shack, Well worth the cost of a few bucks for several sheets, an diff colors, I think even Home Depot carries them now if I remember rite.
