V-8 swap Qs
So, the machine shop might be asking for more to rebuild the I-6 than it would cost to swap in a V-8. That being said, I've never done an engine swap of any kind before. I know about a lot of the various electronics issues I'd have if I wanted to go LSx, but what about a carb'ed 350?
What mounts / brackets are available off the shelf to drop a SBC in? No welding, if it can be avoided without serious compromise to quality / safety. Radiator / radiator hoses? Seems like anything with a mechanical fuel pump should be able to suck off of the existing tank system, no? Come to think of it, no idea about the typical fuel pump arrangement on old SBCs... If there is a good FAQ or thread on the basics of getting the engine physically in place, directions to it would be awesome. |
