i just bought a 85 camaro with a blown 2.8 i have a carburated 350 and need as much info on how to put it in. i would really appreciate anything. i need info bad!

 

assuming an automatic, you'll need a new transmission

if a manual, you'll want a new transmission

since the 2.8 was port fuel, you'll need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator

you also have to move your motor mounts, but you should buy new ones while your in the process

 

you have to buy v-8 mounts ...move them to the forward mos holes ..move brake-line..v-8 radiator..afpr (malory 3 port). Tranny. and a whole lot of time

 

isnt there a manual that says what to do, my friend told me to go to pep boys and buy a manual for the basic v6 to v8 swap?

 

if there is , buy it, your gonna need it. I haven't found one . Seems this board is the best manual I have ever had.:hail:

 

The best way to do this is to find a complete factory V8 donor car. This is true for two reasons: 1) It will have all of the parts you need for the swap; and 2) You can see how it is supposed to look.

In addition to Riley's list, you'll need all accessory brackets, exhaust, hoses, cables, electrical harness, front springs, sway bar.

It's a long enough list that having that donor car makes a lot of sense.
