I'm not quite happy with the NA 2.3L in my 93 LX hatchback, so ive decided this summer to swap in a 351 Cleveland and a C6 (small BH) transmission. I'm not going to stay EFI unless i decide to fork up the cash for a holley programmable system like my dad got for his truck.
I know the harness will need modification, better rad, etc but i have some small questions:
Will the 5.0 engine mounts work? From what i understand i actually have 5.0 mounts with a 5.0 to 2.3 adapter, so just pulling off the adapter gives me 5.0 mounts?
Should i re-route the break lines?
I'm not looking for alot of really into-it info, just a general idea what i should start looking into. I have alot of experience with engine swaps (i put a 454/700R4 in a jeep wrangler, a 13b rotary in a plymoth sundance, etc.), and since i work @ Advance i have easy access to discounted parts
