Thread: How do i put a chevy 350 into my 72 skylark

Tweet

Chevy Chevelles from 68-72 share many components with same year Skylarks. You will need to find frame mounts from a similar vintage Chevelle. Accessories like alternator and power steering pump should work, but you will need the mounting brackets to put them on the Chevy motor. The Buick transmission has a different bolt pattern so you will need to find a Chevy unit, Chevy Turbo 350s are common and relatively cheap. You will not be able to use the Buick exhaust manifolds, but you may be able to use most of the exhaust pipe and muffler(s). A muffler shop can help you connect it to the chevy exhaust manifolds. THere are many different ones, I would start with manifolds from a Chevelle. If you can find a pick and pull with some Chevelles in them that would be the way to go for all the little things you will need.
