3.8 to Pontiac 350 swap questions

[Colindunn]

Alright I picked up a pontiac 350. I'm new to a lot of this. Couple questions are which motor mounts do i need?? and as far as the flywheel it didnt come with one. I'm using the 4 speed saginaw trans that came in the car already. Do i order a flywheel for the engine? I know i need a pilot bearing also, do i order that for the engine or the transmission?

Hey when you pull the motor I want the 3.8 frame pads.

I believe you need 301 frame pads. What year 350? Different mounts for different years. Same for flywheels I believe.

I'm doing the same swap :!: As stated above, different years have different mounts.

It's a 1978 regal with the 3.8. So I need frame pads for the regal? And the motor mounts made for the engine?

It's a Pontiac 350 from an early 70's lemans.

No I need your Buick 3.8 frame pads lol, you need 301/Pontiac specific fr ame pads as well as motor mounts.

why do you need them so bad.

Do you guys recommend using the mechanical fuel pump on the engine or blocking it off and using the one in the tank?
