i have a 1991 rs with the v6 and t5 tranny. im wantint to swap it for my 350 and 700r4 i have the complete truck this motor and tranny came from what would i need to make this swap happen and will the t5 tailshaft fit on the 700r4. i also would like to know about the motor mounts and how much i would have to move them. thanks

 

The T5 and 700R4 are completely different animals, you'll need to find an F body 700R4 tailshaft housing to mount the torque arm. The holes for the motor mounts are already drilled in the K member in the right location for a V8, you'll just need to move the mounts.

 

ok thanks do you kno where i could find a used tailshaft for cheap because where i live there is no junkyard for miles... i would really like to have a t56 but dont have the money for it right now

 

I don't know, classifieds, craigslist, ebay, word-of-mouth...

Don't forget you'll have to put a transmission cooler in too, and you'll need to fill in the gaping hole under the console where the T5 shifter comes through so that you can mount the automatic shifter.

 

Ok so im getting ready to pull my motor and was wandering is it easier to pull it from tge top or unbolt the subframe... And also how does the front bumper come off my cherry picker wont go back far enough because the front bumper

 

The subframe is welded in, you can't take it out. To get the engine out from the bottom, you'd have to take apart the front suspension, disconnect the brake lines, unbolt the K member, and then lift the car up off of it.

 

O ok i did a motor swap in a 96 and we took out the subframe. Thanks for ur help

 

The subframe is welded in a fourthgen too, you took out the K member. The fourthgens are a different matter, you pull the engine out from the bottom because the windshield comes so far forward, but they at least have a conventional double A-arm front suspension that you don't have to take apart like you do with the thirdgen's modified macpherson strut.
