Noob looking for some advice and helpful resources

I have worked on motorcycles for a couple years now but just took a 78 camaro completely gutted and an uninstalled built 350 in on trade. I really have no idea what I'm doing but I want to learn on this and get it together. Any helpful resources that you guys would suggest to get me started? Like I said my car knowledge is very limited but I can do motorcycle stuff so I figured this wouldn't be too much different.

I will need to either make or buy a wiring harness, setup the cooling system, get the motor in it, and take care of managing all the little here and there things. I need a motor swap for dummies guide basically.

Thanks in advance

does an automatic transmission require any extra bits that a manual would not? I'm using a turbo 350 tranny

Well, an automatic will require a transmission cooler and lines, and of course a shifter. The cooler can either be a stock type in the radiator or an aftermarket transmission cooler that relies on airflow to cool it... A manual requires clutch linkage and shifter linkage. If the car was originally equipped with a standard transmission then it's not a big problem. If the car was originally an automatic transmission car, then you would have to install the pedals and linkage or install the clutch pedal, a master cylinder, line, and slave cylinder to operate it.

Welcome to CHR, lots of experienced folks on here who can help you with most any questions you come up with on your build, just ask away....

yeah it's setup for an automatic transmission and I already have a tranny cooler so I guess Im good there.
