After a bit of a break I'm back at getting my '95 put back together and replacing a head gasket. It was a 3.8 car that now has 5.0 v8 in it. While I've got the car apart I'm trying to research what parts I should think about replacing. I took pics of what I could and will include them below.
I've tried researching but can't seem to find any conclusive info on transmission (automatic) differences from v6 to v8. I've seen some say it is the exact same AODE trans and no real changes need to be made and others that argue there are differences. The car does drive with whatever is in it (I got car this way), I'm just not sure if I need to worry about it breaking. If there are differences, can the trans be ID'd from pics attached? I tried to take a few different angles. I was told that they guy who did the engine swap told the owner before me it was the correct trans. The swap was done by 2 owners previous but the guy before me never really drove it and didn't have time to fix the head gasket.
The other question is about the rear end. I'm fairly sure it's the one from the v6 (7.7?), but I took a pic of it as well hoping someone could verify. If it is the v6 rear end, I'll swap it, just wanted to make sure before buying one.
Finally, while I was taking pics I took some of the mufflers to see if anyone know what they were by sight. There is no markings that I can see on the visible parts other that "inlet" next to the inlet pipe mount.
