RE: V6 to V8 throttle body upgrade pros and cons needed.

The throttle body will bolt right up without any issues. However, you
need to swap out the cable for a V8 version (Same year/model preferred)
to attach up to the V8 linkage. Other than that, just clean your IAC
solenoid and install all the sensors from the V6 TB onto the V8 TB (they
work just fine).

If you plan on doing an engine swap...injector harness, PCM, driveline
(required with V6 manual trans) and some patience with the swap.
