is this a tough swap or can it be done fairly easily?

 

it has the same exact external dimensions and bolt locations as any other gen 1 chevy small block v8, so it will bolt right in place of a 305 or any other chevy small block v8. The induction system, carb or FI will have to be tuned for the larger engine.

 

Don't know if this would work.But if you wanted to keep it all Ponco,a 455 would be too kewl.

I have seen a couple cars with pontiac V8's swaped in. So it has been done but i don't think it's a very popular swap

 

sorry a little more info i have the t5 already in it so i kinda want to go with the csb. currently i have the lb8 (2.8L) and im already aware that i need new motor mounts, but whats the deal with the emissions ( i want to drive the car to the track so must be street ready) what would i hav to change out and so on?

 

Besides the engine:

Mounts, bell housing, flywheel, clutch, transmission, exhaust

Don't know "the deal with the emissions" in your state... never lived there... can't help you there unfortunately.

 

i didnt notice you had a v6. You need motor mounts, which is no big deal

you will not be able to use anything from your current engine, or trans. You will need everything, including the bellhousing and trans from a v8 car.

you will need the wiring harness as well from a v8 car to do a factory install. If its a basic, non emmisions legal carbed v8, you can make do without.

 

i have the trans bell housing clutch and fly wheel from the v8 Camero (same year) so all i need is motor mounts and obviously a new exhaust?
