yes if you woulda used the search function you woulda realized that there is no reason for a v8 swap.. just swap in a 3800 and gut the cat and you will be makin 500hp easy..

It all depends on what kind of swap? Fuel injected or carb? I think that if you decide to do that then the carb might be the way to go. If you go fuel injected then you'll need wiring harness, computer etc and that could end up costing more than it's worth.

search is a good start but it's probably cheaper to just buy a V-8 car that has the other things needed to hold up to v-8 power
