Hey guys, i'm a noob here. Just today I thought it would be a good idea to V8 my Mazda. By trade i'm an automotive collision/ restoration painter and a power sports technition. i'v been around cars/ trucks all my life. i'm going to also be doing pre runner box sides and fenders from glass works. Anyways I havent searched around much but i'm sure it's been asked hundreds of times. But what Do I all need? My truck is a 98 4x4 and I would like to keep it 4 wheel drive and manual. I would like to go with a ford engine. Can anyone tell me what I all need? Wiring harness? can I use the stock manual tranny? fuel pump? headers or manifolds? I don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars by any means but I want to do it once and only once. Any direction is much appreciated.

Thanks, It says nothing about using the 5 speed manual though.
