91 3.1 engine swap to carbed 350

I have a 91 with a v6. I'm buying an '82 chevy truck with a rebuilt 350 and automatic transmission. What do I need that won't be in my donor for the swap.
I know I will need v8 springs. What else do I have to have?

You will need engine mounts.
Sway bar for a V8 use Ws6 better
Already said springs use WS6
I think that the trucks tranmission is different than a third gen. Torue arm on a third gen. Not sure about the truck.


The swap will be a harder than thought. You car has VATS and you will have to figure out how to bypass it. Look at bypassing the vats prior to the swap to make sure that everything works. Car starts etc.
