The tails are a direct bolt in. The bulbs don't plug in the same places, but it can be done easily without modification. The front bumper cover is pretty much the same deal, but you will need the older (four eyed) hood. I don't usually recommend swapping four bangers for V8's unless you alaready have the wusstang and are emotionally attatched to it. It isn't necessarily a difficult thing to do, lots of guys have done it- but IMO, by the time you get everything you need to do it right and pay yourself or someone else for the time involved, it can end up being more money than just shopping around for a cheap V8 car would have been. It takes a lot more than an engine to make it work and do it right. If you're a duct tape and bandaid mechanic, go for it.
