Re: any one close to me in il

are you getting everything else to go along with the motor? (trans, computer, wiring..etc) If not, you are gonna have to track that all down also.. The stuff from your V6 will not work. I looked into this swap a few years ago, but decided it would be much easier to get a 305 car and swap in a 350. And I got a good deal one a blown up 305 car.
