60 degree v-6

OK, HERES THE LOW DOWN, I HAVE A CHANCE TO OBTAIN A 92 RS FOR ALMOST NEXT TO NOTHING, THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT HE CRACKED THE BLOCK. oTS THE 3.1 AND IS A 60 DEGREE V-6 IF I REMEMBER RIGHT. My question to all of you is what is the facts for swapping in a 350, it is the 5-speed, and will that have the same bell housing, or do i need to change the trans too? What kinda stuff would i have to look out for with the swapping of a 350 or 400 into this dormant beast??

That's called "V6 to V8 swap". Discussed often on this forum. Look through the subject lines, you'll see many.

Basically, if it bolts to or feeds the V6, it won't bolt to or feed the V8. You need a factory V8 donor car to get all the parts needed, or else many, many trips to the bone yard.

Best bet is to pass this car by and save your nickels & dimes for a factory V8 car. Only way this car would make economic sense is if he paid you to take his V6 car.

No, I didn't know about this board before I started mine.
