The 6 to 8 upgrade is a popular mod and discussed frequently on this and other mustangs boards.

Here is a link to an FAQ page that lists out everything that needs to be done to properly convert your car: http://www.mustangsteve.com/MustangSteveFAQ.html

Scroll down a little its under the 'engine' heading.
