V6 Rolling Chassis

I'm looking for a new body swap my engine/tranny into and I found a v6 car. My motor is carb'd and needs no computer control so wiring won't be a problem. My question is... What all needs to be changed to put a V8 in? Is it just bolting in new motor mounts?

If it bolts to, supports, or feeds the engine, it needs to be changed. Engine mounts, transmission, radiator, hoses, fuel line, throttle cables. Plus front springs, sway bar, tach.
