Im putting a sbc 350 in in a 92 firebird and was wondering where the heater hoses go? does one go intake manifold and one go on the water pump? Also how would i wire up and alternator? should i use a single wire? or one with the stud and 2 wire plug in it? If i use the one with the plug where would the wires go? one to stud and other to? Also What throttle cables is everyone using? just a stock one from the car?


thanks markus

 

Might want to say what you're swapping from. I'm assuming a V6? Otherwise everything should swap right over from a 305, in fact you would save a lot of money by reusing a lot of the parts.

The heater hoses are as below. Notice that they are different sizes. I don't recall what they are off hand (5/8 and 3/4?) but you can go by the heater core outlets:

 

im not sure what was in it as i bought it with no motor and the guy had a 70's sbc in it before i think it was a v6 tho and the brake line mount were undone and theres holes for the v6 mounts.

 

I don't have a Firebird White Book, but I have a Camaro one. If they're the same, the eighth digit on the VIN is the engine code:
F or E = 305
T = V6
8 = 350
I believe all came with the holes needed for either engine mount. If it had a 350 in it before you should be able to use the throttle and other cables it has. Be careful if you're putting a 700R4 in it. The TV cable needs to be adjusted correctly or it can burn the clutches inside in little time.

Pics of what you have for linkages and connectors might help too. I'm not as familiar with what your year may have but others will be able to help if they can see.

 

alrighty got the heater hoses figured out now and the 8th is a T so it was probably a v6 and i added some pictures and also its a TH350

 

got everything except throttle hookups anyone have any suggestions or pictures or anything?
