quick V6 to V8 question

aahh after searching and reading all morning im sick of it lol now i just want to know if i need to swap dash harnesses to a V8's too... if i can leave the V6's thatd be great. by the way, the V8 is going to be a TBI or TPI and the V6 is mpi.

if you have MPI right now, i believe it will be easier to swap to TPI than TBI
