V6 engine into V8 car

No i'm not crazy and yes i have a good reason for wanting to do this. I currently have an 86 Trans am. The stock 305 motor is shot. I also have an 89 firebird. This one just needs a new fuel pump. My question is what would i need to buy to move the engine and trans from the v6 into the trans am? I know i'll hear about how its easier to just buy another 305 and so on but there's more to it. Has anyone here done it?

Re: V6 engine into V8 car

It's going to be the exact opposite of going from a v6 to a v8, which has been talked about to death on this forum I'm sure.
