Hey all im about to pick up a 91 z28 with no motor. I have a good running buick motor just sitting. my question is what kind of thing am I goiing to have trouble with?

The 91 is a 5pd t5, I have a flywheel and PP and clutch.

the motor is and early 70's buick (distributor in the front) and I assume its a 350 because "350" is casted on the intake manifold or somewhere around there.


ANY help/coments is very welcome


THANK YOU!

 

oh also this will be a temp setup (probley about 6mo-a year)just to be able to drive it. Then I'll be askin questions about the 5.3 vortec swap... lol.

not to get too off topic but will the t5 bolt to the 5.3?

 

bump

 

In a word, everything.

That's the worst possible reason for trying to shoehorn something into a car it wasn't designed for.

Either reconcile yourself to a bunch of fabrication and adaptations, or sell the Buick engine to finance the 5.3 you really want to install.

The T5 won't "bolt to" the 5.3, but it can be made to work. The wiser course is to get an f-body LS1 T56 (along with flywheel, clutch).

 

Good NEWS everyone... I didnt buy the 91 with no motor.... Instead I found what I actually wanted, an IROC!! its an 86 t-top 5spd. Its pretty much all original but it has been painted white, was orriginally red. It's been sitting for a few years but i should have it up and running again in the next few days. Original LG4 also... Just thougt ide let yall know..... not gonna be using that buick anymore!!

 

Sounds good. Let us know how it goes.
