welcome to the mad house keiran,

best bit of advice is get yourself a copy of rave, read it before tackling any big jobs mate

Welcome as rob said to the madhouse i did mine about 4 yrs ago now put a thor engine in to my 98 gems set up had to do a bit of fiddling around with cranksensors etc but from memory the worst part was getting heatshields and manifolds of give yourself plenty of time and good luck
No doubt one of the proper v8 experts will be along to help they always manage to solve my problems

my advise take the rad out before you start and put it somewhere safe, there is no worse feeling than an engine swinging around and it hitting the rad....... its the feeling of your pocket becoming light as all your money runs away

On rads when I did mine replaced rad and all hoses just as a precaution

The more advice the better, a friend of mine did say about them being a bit of a game, im defently going to just give it as much time as it needs
thank you for your help.
