Engine Swap necessities
I'm getting ready to swap a 350 in my 88 RS (currently has 2.8) and I'm wonder what all I need to reinstall to make it drive. I'm talking like powered steering, ac, etc.?

Re: Engine Swap necessities
Short list:
- Exhaust (every single piece starting at the heads and ending at the street)
- Motor mounts
- Accessories on the front of the motor (every single piece including brackets, bolts, PS pump, WP, etc. etc. etc. ... if it's on the front of your motor, BET on, it won't fit a V8)
- Transmission
- Misc wiring (possibly can be modified from what you have now depending on details)
