You will have to get the sparkbox for that 8 cyl also. Or just stuff an aftermarket dist and coil in there.. I'd be checking prices and compare to see what I'd do.
You may be ahead with a dist with an advance built in and not depending on electronics to do it for you.
Any more just swapping the engine is not enough. Lots of wires and electronics must be thought of before the swap is complete.
