Nice-great way to take advantage of the situation. I did that with my '03 to. Had it set to go in the shop for paint and the weekend before a woman clipped the front

Got a new bumper and did the chin spoiler and went to smoked headlights then

after the clean and the tranny removal
now we r taking the accessories off and putting it on the stand

Good luck with the build if you have any questions let me know I did the V8 conversion on mine as well. One of the biggest issues that I had was fuel lines coming from the tank are different from V8 to 4cyl cars so finding a set of V8 ones will be a huge advanatge in your favor. They sell them new still but they are not cheap.
