computer, engine harness, fuel lines from the tank all the way to the motor, are the major things i can think of. im sure others will chime in.

You're also going to want to swap the rear-end and trans if you have the whole V8 donor car. The 4cyl car has a 7.5 rear and a trans that won't take much abuse.
