v6 to v8 swap?

Hi, Im looking to do an engine swap in my '88 Camaro RS from the 2.8 V6 to a V8. Most likely a 350. What I am asking though, is how much is actually involved and how much momey could i expect to pay to do the swap?
Also, about the motor mounts, am I going to have to change the mounts as well? Please help with ANY information you have...THANK YOU!

Welcome to thirdgen.org.

Start by reading through the sticky in the top section of this forum. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...swap-read.html

Cost - well, that varies too much to be able to give you much meaningful information there. Usually, it'll cost a lot more than the increase of the value of your car. And that's assuming you do all of the work yourself.
