grumpyvette Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 heres your basic no frills 350 v-8 new, http://www.sdpc2000.com/cart.asp?action=prod_detail&catid=128&pid=110 add a few more parts and brackets... heres a trans http://store.summitracing.com (part#) BMM-113001 add the trans and all the driveshaft,engine mount,trans mounts, console work,new radiator,exhaust system , swap kit and various other B.S. and the running car can be built for about $3000-$4000 includeing the engine if you do the work, but you better know what your doing or the cost of other people doing the work boosts the cost to that $5000 or more your DADs talking about. Ive bought complete engine transmission package deals from salvage yards wrecks for $900 out of 1985-1986 vettes and done this swap (sold the TPI system and used the $$$ to get a carb and intake)from start to finish for about $3200 so it is possiable IF YOUR GOOD AT THIS STUFF! do you have a good place to work, tools,engine lifts,knowledgeable friends to help and $3200 to start????
