96 V6 to 79 350 swap

[jwbond52]

I’m building a 79 350 to replace the V6 in my 96 GM 1500. My question is will I have to use the earlier V belts, or can I use a serpentine belt. I have the 882 heads with mounting holes in one end of them.

The brackets from the v6 should bolt up fine.

Thanks Gramps. I’m hoping that they will.

they will. what are you using for induction?

Induction? I haven’t played with this stuff since my 20’s. I’m having to relearn so much, it’s a lot of fun. I’ve also been told that I would need to regulate the fuel pressure. I’m planning on going with maybe a 650 Holley.

don't want to play with the fuel injection?

I’m also needing to know how this will affect my transmission. It’s a 4L60E. Will I need a controller or what.
