only thing you can use from the 3.1 is the $$$ you get from selling it. Do a search here & in the V6 forum for those who already did this swap. Will also need a new tranny & tach if stock.

Good luck

Are you sure that he can't use his accessories? I have always thought that a GM alternator is a GM alternator, a GM power steering pump is a GM powersteering pump and a GM a/c compressor is a GM a/c compressor.

He doesn't have any brackets for those accessories to fit a V8 engine.

He would have to get the brackets of course but the accesories should work.
