Engine Swap Help/Suggestions
I have a 1986 Pontiac Firebird currently with a 350. I was wondering if it is possible to swap the 350 to put in a Nissan Skyline RB26DETT engine. Or if anyone has any suggestions of if I should swap the engine or build it up. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Re: Engine Swap Help/Suggestions
if you want to attempt to swap in the skyline engine, everything will need to be custom fabbed. just build the 350 up, or if your budget is that high, build a dart block 427-434 sbc. way better than the skyline engine.

It'd be a whole lot of work just to make less power than you can get with bolt-on parts on an SBC that already fits the car.
