HELP ME PLEASE! theres a mustang vs f-bodyy shooout next summer

I can get a 350 from an 87 IROC to go into my 91 305 GTA. What will i need besides the motor. Wil i have to get the 350 computer and wiring harness or can the 305 one do with a chip or something. Thats an expense i forgot about. So in other words, besdies the motor itself, what else will i need for this swap.

This should make my car more than half a second faster for next year at the f-body versus mustang shootout! You must help, because there are hardly any stock mustangs on this island, they are all modded, so i'll need a modded 350 baby!

Have you compared the horse power between yours and his. There might not be that big of a differenece. https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/techdb.shtml Also does this person have anything done to teh 350? What do you want to do to it and what kind of results are you looking to get???

If you are going from MAF to SD you will need harness and PROM. SD to SD is a PROM upgrade.

i am aware the is roughly 30 more hp, which by uitself wouldn't be worth a swap, but since i want a 350 to even further modify, its better than doing it to a 305. He has had the heads ported and a bigger cam. What i have done to my 305 could easily be swapped on the 350(headers and stuff). PLans for the car is to run 13's easy and with some luck maybe even 12's
