want to swap my 2.3 for a 1985 v8 302 carbed. i dont want fuel injection. grew up on carbs. i know the basics of the swap but i need some help as this is my first car engine swap. swapped boats and jetskis before. where to start? i have the engine picked out, i want a c4 trans. will stick with the 7.5 4:10 axle for a little while till i find a good deal on an 8.8. will i still be able to use my original a/c and heater. what mods are needed to fit the engine. does the stock shifter hook up to the c4? how to extend the condesor lines to put it in front of my radiator. would like electric fans but if mechanical fits its staying. what headers to use? cheaper the better. this is a budget build. emissions arent an issue. stock driveshaft useable? any info greatly appreciated.
