Engine swaps??
I have inherited a 80 malibu 2dr. The car is in pretty good condition (60,000 miles), but has the smaller, (I suspect 267?) v8 engine.
Question.. If I wanted to drop a 327, or 350, or 400SB into it, will there be a lot of work as far as the engine mount repositioning, welding etc?? I was under the impression that the basic blocks were the same size, 267ci, 283ci, 327ci, 350ci, 400ciSB. Would they not have all the same mounting points? I have no idea what stock transmission this car came with. I expect it is not the 350 TH...?
How would a 350TH, or 400Th mount up in a swap. Same mount points??
Thanks, Bill
