You'll need a box for it too.
You'll also need to change the engine mount plates that are bolted to the front cross member. Otherwise she'll be a very straight forward job. Have you got everything as far as radiator, accessory brackets, bolts etc? |

What auto, Borg 35 or C4?
Borg can't go behind an 8, and they barely hold up behind a 6 lol. Go to a wrecker and get all your alt, power steer brackets and anything else you might need. It kind of sounds like you're trying to do it on a shoe string full of short cuts, by doing that you'll run into nothing but problems. |

There are ways around that, i used an XF shifter, i cut and modified the linkage to come out the opposite side. Reason being, V8 shifters were bringing big money, especially XD/XE as they had the bracket on them to house the quadrant. Tailshaft will be fine depending the the box you put into it. |
