The transmission needs to be looked at by a trans shop for more specific info and no, you can't just change engine types or sizes. The computer and all the wiring was engineered for a specifc engine with specific accessories and controls and it just won't work if all of it doesn't match up.

There would be a tremendous amount of modifications to make both electrical and mechanical at a cost that would make it cheaper and easier to just buy one that already has a V8. Even the suspension and braking is different with the larger engine.
