okay I have a 350 out of a t400(cmj code) and from what Ive seen it only has around 160 hp.... so needles to say I need a swap so I was wandering if was to swap in another 350(just an option keep reading) would It be as simple as dropping it in or would it need to do more altercations(ecu mounts etc) and if I was to upgrade to a 383 or bigger how much work am I looking here thanks for the help.... honestly I was thinking nice upgrade from my 02 v6 stang check the specs on it =( makes me cry

 

It would be a direct swap? I'm not really understanding what you are asking... any small block chevy (gen 1) will fit without any difficulty.

 

No, I wouldn't think it would cause you to get in any loud public arguments.

 

like im about going with a 90+ lt or maybe even a ls1 what am I looking at as far as difficulty or since my current motors carb. a stronger carb 350

 

Any gen 1 block is a direct swap as long as it's still the same rear main (otherwise you are changing the flexplate/flywheel) and as long as the heads have the same accessory bolt holes.

As far as LS1/LT1 it's way more complex. You need to change the harness/ecu/fuel pump. I've never done this, probably a PITA.

 

Well its a 84 z28 already got a 350 as I said earlier what all would I need for a 383 swap, I wanan be able to take it to the track but still dd gas mileage isnt realy an issue as long as I can drive 3 miles to work and back and not have to fill up everday

 

It's another SBC that is exactly the same dimensions on outside as the engine you have in car now
so what is your problem
refer post # 2 above

 

yeah will it be a direct fill will I need to modify or buy anything more than motor, motor accesories I wont need to buy a new motor mount or anything right pretty much im asking for a parts list if you could

 

You are taking a SBC out and putting a SBC back in.

Everything you have now will fit new engine
UNLESS
engine is older version with different number of bolt holes on the front of heads for accessories
Need to compare YOUR 2 engines side by side to see if anything obviously different;
dipstick on opposite side / . flywheel size, etc
You are the only one that can do that ; we don't have ESP

 

These guys are telling you no motor mount mods are needed. 350, 383 400 327 305 will all have the same mount pattern on the block. Your accessories, same thing as long as the heads have the 3 bolt holes in them which they probably do.

 

a 383 shortblock, lots of tools, lots of time, few extra bucks for gaskets and fluids.

 

This guy's posts confuse me, sorry.

 

sorry didnt mean to confuse you guys my question got answered though

 

That's good. I hope it all works out for you too.
