2.8 to 305

I posted in the wrong thread earlier so i thought id post here too.

I have an 88 camaro that had a 2.8 in it. I am dropping a 305 in. (have trans for 305 already also). What modifications other than moving the motor mounts will i need to fit the 305 in? Someone said i would have to do something with the cross members but not real clear on what they said, it was a while back. any help appreciated thanks

Re: 2.8 to 305

You really should read the FAQ's before posting questions. Read this first and then if you have specific questions run a search first, then create a thread if you can't find the exact answer you need.

We are happy to help but we see these questions come up multiple times a week and people took the time to craft useful FAQ's so that the same people didn't have to answer the same questions multiple times a week. Additionally you can find your answer faster if you can find an existing thread or posts rather than waiting on new ones.

If you change your mind and decide again to do the V8, PM me and I'll unlock this.
