there's some minor pipe and wire work involved with the washer squirters IIRC - the piping comes up on both sides on the V8, so block the other side or use one hose for washer and the other side's hose for the intensive washer - if you have one (Canadian equipment?). The V8 has heated ww nozzles - I wired that to the defroster circuit.
It takes a little time to adjust the hood latch pins so that the hood sits well with the fenders. The chrome trim strip on the top of the bumper needs about 3 brackets to replace the mounts on the 5k grille - I just made aluminum plate L's that hook to the underside of the top of the bumper cover and tapped in screws. V8 hoods have different latch release mechanisms since there's a grille in the way of grabbing the latch - make sure that the mechanism is in good working order or you'll be fooling around with a coathanger wire to open the hood.
LMK if you need any pictures.
The V8 trunk change was harder - wires come up on the right side instead of the 5k left hand side - at least I know the trunk harness wires are good for years to come now (and I have a rear foglight as well!)
