check the faq2 sticky a few posts above this one. but what engine and tranny do they both have in them? are you just replacing a v6 or upgrading to a v8? we cant tell you much if we dont know what exactly you have. v6 replacement is an obvious yeah. v6 to v8 requires certain v8 parts like the flywheel i believe and the v8 tranny or an upgraded one to handle more power. but yeah..details man lol and then we can help ya.
