anything I should know

Hey this is my first post. I have a 85 with a blown 2.8. Bought it cheap and blew it up. Looking swap in a carbed 350 and TH350 or Th400. I have a camaro performace hand book that shows an easy Richmond 5 speed swap. Maybe save my money for that. Nothing beats shift your own gears. Anything I should know about ahead of time would be a helpful. Where can I get motor mounts to work with my set up.

Welcome aboard.

Read the "Important/Useful" post above about the general V6 to V8 swap issues.

If you still have specific questions, come on back.
