89 firebird 350 swap

I'm going to be swapping my 2.8 v6 for a carbarated 350 and I was wondering what the first big step should be. This will be my first motor swap with some additional help from people who have done a few In the past

Find a V8 parts car. You'll run into things that are different that you've never thought of. I've gathered most of the parts once, sold the car and a few parts, and I've gone about gathering the rest of the parts a second time now... It's an endeavor to do the job right, which is why you see it done so little.

Would the 350 bolt right up to the T-5 trans I have?

Search.

Seriously, use the search feature to look for v8 swap topics and just read a few of them. The short answer is nothing under the car is the same. There are a few bits that are, and a few that'll work in a pinch, but the topic has been discussed at length and you can save a lot of time waiting for a reply, by just looking at threads that have already discussed the topic.

Google works well too, just type in v8 swap thirdgen.org and one of the first results should say -

More results from www.thirdgen.org
