A Complete Early Vega V8 Conversion Checklist?
Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:26 am
I have done some searching but can't find anything that is too comprehensive. Has anyone created a list of everything needed to do a V8 swap with associated vendors and part numbers? A list of everything needed from mounts, to headers, to rear axle would be helpful!
Not including engine/tranny/rearend, how much does this swap typically cost?
Also, what are thoughts on rear axle setups (on a non-tubbed car)? My experience in the past with other cars (mostly 1st Gen Camaros/Firebirds) is by the time you mess around with a used housing/going thru the center section/gears/adding mounts, buying an "already done" complete new custom axle package from Strange or Moser makes more sense?
Thanks,
Phil
