Engine swap problems
Please help. I'm bout to go crazy. I have a 69 chevy that had an i-6 in it. I pulled the i-6 and am now putting in my 305 (1988). Then engine fits fine (had to go to pullapart to get v-8 engine mounts) but i am having other problems:
1. How am I supposed to rig the throttle up now? The bigger block does not leave enough room for the linkage set-up that was used on the I-6.
2. Clutch linkage- my 305 doesn't have the holes on the side of the block to mount the two bolt bracket for the clutch linkage swing arm thing. So i am thinking i am going to have to put in a hydraulic clutch system with different belhousing.
3. If I can use the old transmission, the crossmember is too far back. It is riveted in the frame. Do i drill those out to move the cross member or how do i move it forward?
I know that's a lot of questions but any help would be great.
