Thread: Chevy/Pontiac swap??

Tweet

I have a 1980 L-82 Vette with a 350 that was built up(angle heads, hi-pro ignition, 650 Holley, Edelbrock intake), and was kicking around the idea of putting that bad boy in my '68 firebird [URL=[/URL] , I curerently have a Pontiac 350 in it, but this Chevy is muuuuuch more gooder

Is this going to be a "major" deal swapping? Thanx, Kelly

Any ideas, do it, don't do it?

I hate any Corvette newer than 68,,,,,so i say,,,,,,,DO,,,IT,,,,,should swap out with just a few hiccups,,,mounts and cross members,,,driveshaft,,,,

just what he said motor mounts drive shaft shouldnt have to do anything to the crossmember

A few other things to change, also. Starter on a chebbie engine is the opposite side of a Pontiac so you'll have to move the battery tray and some of the wiring. I believe the radiator outlets are different also. Might want to check that out.

The transmission mount and driveshaft should be ok as is, just a matter of drilling holes in the front crossmember to relocate the motor mounts. Should be able to use Camaro mounts on the crossmember and the block.

Thanx guys, sounds pretty straight forward....
