it will fit and cost a f**k lot

you will need some 5L engine mounts, an engine + ECU , and a complete set of XH XR8 looms to get it all wired up.

Not to mention a host of other small odds and ends that the V8 models differed to the I6 model.

well mate if u wanna do it stick at it and go nuts, anything can be done if your willing to put it the hard yards, and to get the old Windsors up and cracking they need a fair bit of work, eg manifolds, cam stroker kits etc and will cost alot of $$$$$, but id say worth it in the end.
