Don't even consider such a job. Your truck will end up on the side of the yard with a "For Sale As Is" sign in the window.

A truck that came from the factory with the V-6 would have stiffer front springs, a bigger radiator, heavy duty brakes, different engine mounts, different cross member, Engine Computer, wiring harness, exhaust, power steering hoses, air conditioning hoses, . . . Need I go on? A V-8 is heavier than a V-6.
