I have read a lot of this forums pros and cons on doing an engine swap. That being said, I still plan on changing to the 350. My questions are:
Can you use the v6 auto tranny on the v8 if you change the bell housing? I am looking at the absolute minimum amount of changing that can be done and still have everything work. All advice welcaome.
Thanks,
Dave

To answer your question about tranny, No

Need New or used
-motor mounts, clamshells
-front brake lines relocated (mise well change them
-v8 suspension ( completely optional if its just a daily driver )
- Fuel pressure regulator ( all AN fittings add up, be prepared to spend $200 if not more for this )
- Possibly new radiator and fans, not sure if the little v6 can handle cooling the 350, when i took mine out if was small
- Transmission
- wire connectors, maybe switches depending how you will tap into the fuel pump, its computer controlled and will not work unless you put it on a switch or tap into your ignition wires


Believe me, price does add up, dont think its just a simple swap, all those small parts and big parts will cost a few hundred if not close to 1g
