Help!!!!! Need more info on a V6 to V8 swap
I currently have a 85 firebird with 2.8L engine in my car. A buddy of mine has a 84 trans am with a 305. His car was recently totaled and he is parting it out. He offered the engine to me since im always talking about doing a engine swap on my car. But im not really sure what would need to be changed. I know that my tranny wont bolt up to the 305 since it's a angled different but everything else i have no clue. Please someone help! Really wanna know if this will work.
