Car: 1991 Corvette Coupe
Engine: L98
Transmission: 700R4/4L60 same trans different name
well, since you didnt specify what kinda 350, i'm going to assume a 350 TPI


complete engine including all accessories (alt, ps pump, etc) $1500
wiring harness $300
motor mounts $50
headers $200
radiator $200
if you have an automatic, you'll need a new transmission
if you have a manual:
bellhousing $50
flywheel $150
clutch $100
pressure plate $100
clutch fork$30
t.o bearing $15
pilot bearing $3


upper and lower radiator hoses $30

The answer to the first part is, "everything on a factory V8 donor car that is different from your V6 car".

The answer to the 2nd part is, "whatever you pay for the factory V8 donor car".

The easiest, cheapest way to put a V8 in your 6-cyl car, in 2 easy steps:

1. Sell the 6-cylinder car.

2. Buy a V8 car.

You'll spend somewhere about a third to half as much, have about 0% of the trouble, and you won't have to worry about whether you have the right parts.
