WANNA SWAP V6 TO V8 IN 84 BERLINETTA

I have a 84 berlinetta body in great shap 138k on it but the lil ole' v6 is shot. I want to swap it out for a small v8 like a 305 or dream bigger a 350. i know I will have to swap the tranny. Will i have to change the rear end and would the wiring harness match up bett with a 305 or 350? please help a brother out my first real build have helped on others but wanna do this one. berlineeta is in to good a shape to throw away.

Did you read the V6 to V8 swap sticky at the top of this forum - the one that says READ BEFORE POSTING?

No difference swapping 305 or 350 - all the same cost/time/etc. - get a 350, no need to waste time/money on 45 less cubes - those 45 cubes make ALOT of difference depending on the heads.
