i would like to know if its possible to put a 318 engine in my stock 1986 2.8L V6 firebird..but i dont know if it will fit or not and if so will i need a new transmission as well? i dont know much about cars so i thought i would try here it looked very helpful

thanks in advance

 

A Mopar in your Chevy? Why? You have access to a free one?

I suppose if the oil pan pick-up is towards the rear & the accessories aren't mounted so low, that they would hit the subframe, anything is possible, with enough custom fab work, like the motor mounts.

 

well what would be a good idea to look for? i want more power lol but nothinng more then a 5L cuz gas sucks right now haha
im only 17 and just got an interest in cars so i dont know much

 

Look for a 305. Plentiful, cheap. You will need to read the "V6 to V8" sticky in the top section of this forum first. It's not a matter of unbolting the V6 and bolting in a V8, although what you need will bolt in.

I've got a 305 sitting in my garage if you're interested. Come by and pick it up. If you want the carb, I'll need a few bucks, but otherwise, it's there for the taking.

 

I see $100 305s all the time... Or "Free...Just haul it out of my garage."

Saw a 305/700R4 on my local craigslist, free for the taking...Or look at the regional For Sale boards here on TGO. I remember seeing a complete TPI system & harness, not to long ago.

Where are you located? If you fill out your profile, it'l show us what town/state you are in, and I bet we can point you towards one.

 

The mighty mopar! LOL I have a 350 w/ 4 bolt mains that you could build up nicely.

 

alright i have my location info on here now if anyone could help me out i really appreceate it =)

everyone has been very helpful so far thank you
