Hi everybody, first post and im hoping i can get started with a right foot. Ive done a bit of searching and i didn't know what to put this under either engine swap or here. but my question is that i have a 84 firebird that had a v6 (2.8L)in it and the guy that i bought the car from gave me a 305 which was fantastic for $350 for the whole thing car and engine. I know that the 305 wont be able to use the mounts that are on the stock K-member, so im pretty sure i would have to goto the wreaking yard and pull the one out of V8 model. or is there some adapter that would work? and if i have to pull a K-member from the yard how hard is it? 2 man job or can i do it myself? and if im pulling that what else should i pull like the springs or just get new ones? Money is an object but i would rather do this right the first time. I looked at the one Spohn had, but i don't think i can swing the $1000+(or as a matter of fact the 500) unless it worth it and i wont have to replace anytime in the near future(altho i would liek to get this thing running so i don't have to hear the "i told you that was a pile of junk" from my girlfirend). Thank you in advanced

Hi and welcome, altho this should be moved to the engine swap, Ill do my best to help you with this. I know for a fact that the crossmember holding the engine is the same from 82-92 all engines included. What Im not so sure of is if the 2.8 and the V8s share the same engine mounts. I would guess so. My guess is its a direct swap... physically speaking.

thank you, i didnt know what one to put it in because if somebody was to say that yes the spohn would be the better way to go, or if i needed to pull out one out of a donor car.

Since your on a budget, you dont need to invest in a 500+$ fancy piece. Just ask in the V6 forum if the 2.8 mounts are the same for the V8s. Like I said, Im pretty sure they are.
