Im doing my own swap at the moment..I should be almost finished by mid Feb. though

Daz

 

Aren't you swapping a 2.8 for a V8? That's a little tougher than a drop-in swap...

Now if someone's looking for more of a drop-in job, I'm still thinking about a 350 in my little Jimmy next summer... lol

 

yep, whats the diffrence in swap i never new there was a specific word for changeing each enging??? but ya thats what i am doin. no harm in askin 4 some help.

 

Oh sure, no harm at all... I'd just mention what kind of swap beforehand.

A 350 in place of a 305 for example would be child's play (comparatively speaking), it'd more or less drop right in with little screwing around. Coming from a 2.8 however, you're lookign at new mounts, tranny (bellhousig at least, if it's standard), possibly tranny crossmember, possibly rad, etc... People usually recommend just selling the 2.8L car and picking up a V8 car when that swap comes up.

Not that I'm trying to discourage you, it can and has been done. It's just not an easy one-weekend kinda job.

 

Why bother going for the 2.8 to 305 when i can send you over to get a REAL 85 transam with a 305 for about $500. oh it has t-tops and a good interior.

 

do u have a pic of this car, whats the body on it like? and year? what type 305? what ever info would be great. i am very interested in this let me no please.

thanks

 

Sorry I don't have a pic,I asked about this car about 2 years ago it is still there its a 1985 T/A with t-tops ,auto tranny 305 possible the HO,the interior is in great shape is tan/black , floors are good there is some cancer on the quarter panels needs paint ,its black was never abused,headlight motors are stuc up has apporx 200,000kms has stock t/a rims ,spoiler his little daughter opend the car door when they were on the highwas and damaged it on the corner but thats about all,the car is located in dundas ont right off of highway 6,heck i'll even meet you there
