Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

There is a sticky in the top section of this forum on the V6 to V8 swap that covers all the basics. The specifics not covered would be things like fuel system changes when going to carb, air cleaner you'll need, details like that.

Read the sticky first. It sounds like you're on the right track, but some details like what the q-jet came from, what distributor you're planning on using, what throttle cables you'll need, etc., will need input from you.
