Engine swap:
removed v6 & trans from firebird and dropped in v8 305 & trans from camaro of the same year. How should we handle the wire harness ECM/CPU? What else is needed, what else should i know bout completion of this swap?

 

What year?

 

83 we want to stick w/4bbl carb....messages bout exhaust setup is starting to scare me....just found out bout limited space, with no room on the driver side.....

 

To the best of my knowledge there shouldn't be any difference Camaro/Firebird in that year.

The only V6 thing that gets in the way is brake lines - easy to fix.

 

Yeah thanks for the info.....my 305 & trans is from a Berlinetta, I'm going to miss her it's time to let her go far to much rust to work through. As for the exhaust I'm using factory manifolds for now (just want 2 get bck on the road) any suggestions to an inexpensive temporary exhaust. Planning on using factory Y pipe without cat would like to just dump the tail pipe in front of rear tire. What do u think? Summit sales universal round cylinder mufflers for under $50 12inch long w/3" inlet/outlet. Thanks again for the support.

 

Where do you live? I've got one I'll give you; y-pipe, cat (looks new), cat-back, great sounding muffler off of a California car.
