I don't recall anyone on here with one, it has been done.

You could try searching over on Yotatech.


What do you want to know about it?

i want to know if there is any extra-fabrication i would need to do.. and if the drivlines will line up properly.. and hwere to go for enigne mounts.. and if there would be adverse effects ripping out the engine computer system (the 350 would be carb) and, really, would it fit?

Yes,yes,yes...I will get more info for you I believe there are some kits out there.. sit tight
 
the problems would be fitting it side to side, firewall clearance, hood clearance (unless you want to show it off) and core support clearance (it needs a big radiator too). in 86 chevy (trucks at least) got rid of carbs and went to tbi. you can easily get a fuel injected topend for your smallblock. that big engine is going to definately change the handling and the front will be waaaaaay heavy. you might not have room for the long 700r4 transmission with overdrive, and even less room if you go for 4wd. the driveshaft would be super short after the tailstock. just my 2 cents.

(go for a vortec v6)
