Engine Swap No, what i mean was this: it looks like one mount is longer than the other, so as to center the engine on the frame mounts. The holes on the mount line up with the holes on the block only one way so the position of the engine relative to the frame is not my concern. My question...

The new motor is a 1969 350 Pontiac ... 2 motor mount holes on the side of the block.. SO i ordered the Indian Adventures motor mounts.... nice pieces... BUT one side is slightly longer than the other. Which is the driver side and which is the passanger side? Apparrently this company is...

OK. So I have a 1980 GP that has a 265VB/TH 200 in it. I am going over to a GM 350 crate engine w/ a 700R4. I have my work cut out for me though that's for sure. Tips: Remove the nose and radiator support - The amount of room you have is great to work especially if you have to pull...

You can buy a 700R4 cross member on line now, I don't have the link, do a google on it. Shorten that driveshaft 3 inches - exactly 3 inches. Get a transmission cooler and adjust the TV cable the right way. The crossmember is a bolt up AND has two humps for your exhaust pipes to go thru. I think...

wow that is alot of work, how do you do that with the body on the car?

use that TH-200 to teach yourself how to rebuild an automatic transmission. That is about it's useful purpose in 2007. It's so easy now to put your choice of transmissions into these cars, even a 5 speed manual, why the hell would you want to mess with that. IT IS a weak link, trust me. I am...

So we are getting ready for the engine swap. FIRST i had to turn my car around in the garage . Naturally the mexicans i got to help me pushed too good and we slammed the back end into the rear garage wall. Now the bumper is pushed in on one side. How do I fix this.

ok 1980 didnt have computers yet, yay for me. i do have to dump all that air pump crap and the evaporate canister. i was going to cut the old exhaust with a reciprocating saw. oh, and I have to change the routing on the fuel line no???

yeah, considering weight, the suspension and all that crap, plus I wanna keep my AC , i am going to do a small chevy. For me i think its good cause I am a super newbie and it seems even I cannot screw this up, like everything else its going to be harder to get the 4.3 V8 out than a new engine...

murphy's law i am the type of guy u dont bring to vegas with so it's just my luck I have an ailment no one has ever heard of.

never thought about rust I inspected that area yesterday and while there is surface rust there are no areas where the frame is like completely rusted thru, i.e no holes. I think I am still going back to rubber because the whole thing is way to "stiff", my other problem being is I am spoiled by...

Good point never thought about the weight issue..... do I go bowtie and lighten the load? More my concern about the transmission was the crossmember, this is going to be a better than daily driver I think, not a full out race car.

Upgraded to polyurethane upper control arm bushings on my 1980 GP, NY's roads aren't kind so I broke the mount one day. A mechanic re welded it but I am skeptical, I want to put the car back on the road but first want to go back to good ol' rubber. Should i throw the car out?

ok, so its time to take my 1980 and put it on the road. it has a 265 v8 pontiac. What do I do to get a 400 into it. I am not lookin to go real fast but would like a nice daily driver. 9 years in the garage is long enough. Also, when I did have the car on the road, I replaced the bushings...
