there isn't any difference under the hood on E bodies. you might have problems with the right valve cover hitting the shock tower, under hard acceleration, if you use taller cast covers. also don't use 2 1/4" tube headers if you want to run power steering, hits the box.

Cheers for that Mr T2U I don't think I'll be doing too much hard acceleration and the covers I have at the moment are quite low just like the factory single plug ones. My car does not have power steering, but I'll probably go with 2 1/8" rather than 2 1/4" headers.

The engine compartment is the same, but the crossmember the engine sits on is NOT. You will need a Hemi K member or some type of conversion engine mount, the problem w the conversion mounts is finding headers to work with them.
