Pulling the 4cyl out what to save for V8 swap

just save everything till after the swap. you never know when something will come in handy.

Exactly. I saved every nut, bolt and all 4cyl parts till the swap was done. I had a donor car, so I didn't end up needing any of it, but if you are peicing a car together, I'd save everything. Never know when you'll need to extend a wire, or make a bracket...etc.

I would put a fuel injected 5.0L in it. Stay as stock and/or factory as you possibly can. Most don't build to sell, but everything has a price if the price is right. You'll pull more out of a near stock 5.0L, then something fudged together.
