Chevy/Pontiac swap??
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:3dSMILE:
Is this going to be a "major" deal swapping? Thanx, Kelly:cool:

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.
