Is it possible to put a Vortec Chevy 350 from a 2000 Surburban into a 1984 Buick Regal if I change the intake and fuel injection to carburator?

You will also have to modify the oil pan as well. or use an oil pan from an 98-02 F-body. The 5.3 vortec will hang down about 3" to low once installed.

F-body exhaust manifolds, or headers.
New motor mounts.
And an aftermarket ignition.

Might want to look into as amny LSx swaps as ya can. There is a tech section on it at maliburacing.com, and i'm sure some other g-body sites.

figured i'd throw my newb 2 cents in here. believe all you will need is the computer and a plug and play wiring harness. as well as an in tank fuel pump for the higher pressure that the FI requires.
