you are going to have to change at least your front springs, because the v8 is a lot heavier than the 2.8, and will make the car ride horribly and very low in the front.
surprises in the swap? hmmmm....you're gonna need to swap the whole fuel setup to a higher pressure pump and all new fuel lines. The whole cooling system should be upgraded, rad, fan(s), etc. not sure if the driveshaft is a direct swap either. might need a v8 driveshaft. make sure you get a full wiring harnesses, and keep in mind all the sensors add up quickly, especially if you go with an MAF setup. you will need an exhaust setup from the cat forward definitely. Lots of other stuff too.
It's not gonna work if you don't change the springs, the weight will not be balance and you may end up spinning the rear tires all the time. It can be dangerous.
