The mounts are the same, you just need to move them to the "8" position, they are now in the "6" position of course. You may need a new fan shroud, and of course you will need the pullys, brackets, hoses, and all the accessories for the v8. Other than that, it is pretty much a direct swap to the v8.
Good luck and welcome to the board.
