v6 to v8 conversion

ok, I am looking to put a v8 in a camaro with a v6. Is that just a matter of changing mounting brackets and the holes they mount into (which should already be predrilled and tapped right?)?

Re: v6 to v8 conversion

I was actually just wondering to let a friend know. All 4 of mine (only have 2 now) have been v8s.
