Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Camaro / June 2004Help with engine swap?
I'm putting a 350 into a 85 Camaro that had the icky 2.8 V-6 in it. ANY information is appreciated. Nothing is aligning up, the onlything I figured out so far is the engine mounts are going to need to be scooted up to the front bolt holes, are they the same brackets I use? do I need to get different ones? I have no ideal what the engine came from, just a 350 with 305 double hump heads and 4 brl. hydrojet carb. Electronic distributor (is that ok? or do I need to go to the older distr. to get more clearance? Do I need to cut into the firewall to clear the distr? will the tranny work? I dont know what it came from, its a 350 turbo. Guys, any help is so much appreciated, nothing is of too small of detail, every piece of information is helpful. I noticed on the tranny cross member/mount, there are different locations to bolt the bracket the tranny mounts to, but if I moved it, it takes a longer bracket because the bolt holes are in a \--o--/ pattern, the bracket I have is 21 inches long for the tranny. Seri, any info is appreciated, its driving me crazy, I have this 350 dangling inside the car from a motor lift, nothing is working for me. Thanks in advance I GOT YA TAKEN CARE OF. ITS EASY. ANY QUESTIONS E-MAIL ME. RICH Richard spilled my beer when they jumped on the table and proclaimed in <14756-40D656E9-340@storefull-3238.bay.webtv.net> > I GOT YA TAKEN CARE OF. ITS EASY.

NOI if any one has a question about swaping a v-8 in place of a v-6 in a camaro feel free to ask, i lost alot of relegion becouse no one seemed to know what to do, so i had to find out the hard way.....try it till it worked lol gsams spilled my beer when they jumped on the table and proclaimed in <H6sBc.80966$eu.67059@attbi_s02> > I'm putting a 350 into a 85 Camaro that had the icky 2.8 V-6 in it.

You'll need different mounts.

Thanks in advance /me doesn't care much for 305 parts or the engine though... NOI > /me doesn't care much for 305 parts or the engine though... actually I dont really care for any of the car lol. Its a project I should have never got involved in. I'll never show this car off, and it will never get a ohhh-ahhh. I just want to work with what I've got, so I can drive the piss out of the car up and down my road. More than likely, it will never be tagged agian. > You'll need different mounts. Ideally, a donor V8 car would be best... I have the engine mounts from a V8, but do I need to use the bottom half of the engine mounts from a V-8 also? or can I just use the bottom portion of the motor mounts from the v6 and move them up on the frame? you need to use the v-8 mount in the forward position. I spent the last of the day moving the motor mounts up to the front part of the frame, what an easy task GM made of this *sarcasm*. I enjoyed fishing a wrench through a 1" access hole. I will possibly try to sit the motor back in on Thursday, its going to rain tomorrow. Anything else you guys can think of before I sit this motor back in would be appreciated. this is the 3rd time this motor has been put in and removed because of "something else" needing to be done. BTW, I am doing the motor and tranny at the same time, I have not unbolted it.(if that makes a difference) > I'm putting a 350 into a 85 Camaro that had the icky 2.8 V-6 in it.
