help with swap
Hi guys, is there anyone in the snohomish/skagit/watcolm(sp) Island counties that would be willing to help me swap my puky 2.8 and slushy tranny? Planning on a 350 or 383 and TH350 or 400. I live in Mt Vernon.

Re: help with swap
I agree.
On the other hand, visit the V6 forums and you can build some pretty decent N/A cars or go turbo for even more fun.

Yes, but V6 cars have worse suspensions and normally less options then the V8 cars. Also, there are a lot of trashed V6 cars out there, too. Instead of driving them hard they neglect them because "it's just a V-6"

Re: help with swap
lukes was the cleanest v6 to v8 swap ive seen to be honest, but he also went top to bottom on it with suspension and all that IIRC
OP: Pickin up a v8 would be your best bet, one in good shape, i know theres a guy parting a 91 out in key peninsula like 400 for the whole car or something, id offer him 3 for the shell and see where it goes from there, or take the whole thing, its a tbi with a t5 i think
