Engine swap


Houdini

Recommended Posts

After giving it some thought, and stating for the record I do not know how to actually do the swap I would say it can be done. Yet it would not likely be a simple plug-n-play swap. 

The computer would differ from the 350 to 300 plus whatever additional wire harness items would go along with the more modern engine. It's likely the axles up front would differ if only because the block of the bigger motor would make axles for the smaller motor too long, or at least those would be on my list of things to find out. 

The stock air box may differ enough to require one of those chrome thing-a-ma-jig intake hoses. Would a radiator set up and tranny cooling line setup require modification? Would stock motor mounts from the 350 work in the 300?

As you can see there are lots of things to consider.
