more 327 swap problems

i own both the 327 with all accecories and a tci streetfighter th350... as of my last post these will be going into an 89 trans am... come to find out the owner befor me swapped to a 2.8 v6 with some custom twin turbo set up he told me that he used the engine girdle and mounts ect. from a v6 firebird of an earlier year... i myself dont see any porblems in mounting the v8 but i am a novice mechanic and would like some assurance befor i begin this project in class

and yes i read the v6 to v8 swap post but this mount isnt like anything ive seen on the v6s cars that ive been under.

Re: more 327 swap problems

it doesnt really matter what he did. IF it bolts to the v6, throw it away. YOu have all your accesories, etc. Everything else should apply as listed in swap guide.
