Default v6 to v8



I have a 84 camaro currently with a v6 and am wanting to change to 305 or 350. It has a 700r4 trans and I am wondering if the transmission, torque converter etc. will have to be changed or maybe just need to change bellhousing and converter any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx</P>

you would probably have to change everything to handle the V8 power, buying a wrecked v8 car and taking everything off it would be the best and cheapest way, as you would need the computer, etc
