thinking about swaping 3.1 to 5.7tpi.

Ok I want to swap my(92 firebird) 3.1 engine for a 5.7tpi, but what am I looking at in price...? I know the 700R4 will handle the hp. but I will have to change the bellhousing. Beond the tranny what will I have to change...motor mounts?, wiring harnus, computer?..I don't know much about fuel injected cars, but know the basics on carb engines, this is all new for me, so if someone could help.

There is no bellhousing to change, you have to swap the tranny as well. As far as wiring, the entire engine harness, ECM, motor mounts will all have to be changed as well.

When you say "price", are you asking about the engine, or the labor cost to get the work done?
