engine swap
hi my mother just gave me her 1997 chevrolet extended cab pickup with a V6. it has 150,000 miles but i dont want a V6.. the transmission was replaced with a factory remanufactured and it has about 20,000 miles on it. the transmission i know is a 4L60E transmission. i want to swap a 350 in there but what would it take in order to pull this job off? will the transmission bolt directly to the 350 engine? what types of changes would i have to make in the engine bay. i just got my tax refund check so i have about 2500 to spend so any suggestions would be great. thanks

RE: engine swap
that tranny is supposed to match to 305 and 350 blocks. umm, you shouldnt have fuel line problems since the 6 is a gas the mount is the only thing i see as an issue i know a few trucks locally that went to the diesel engines or to gas from diesel and they didnt have much work aside from fuel lines

RE: engine swap
the v 6 in your truck now is mostly a 350 with 2 cylenders cut off the front. eavery thing from the six will bolt directly to the v 8 all the drive pullys alt. powerstering pump are all the same so if you find a good running v8 it will mbolt right up you will have to get new rad hoses and a fan shroud from a v 8 truck to fit in yours.
