Has anyone did the v6 to v8 swap in their 91 chevy?

Im about to start the swap and I was wondering if the motor mounts bolts right up or do I have to move them?

I did the swap you will need the motor mounts, the ones for the frame AND the ones for the engine, no way around it, 4.3L mounts are flipped around (Rubber one engine, clam on frame) and are in the wrong spot.

Thank goodness I need new motor mounts. Sounds like a pain in the butt. I have the motor on the stand so no going back now. Are there any other worries to look out for be sides computer stuff like that?

Umm, other then that, pretty straight forward, i went from TBI-Carb so i have no clue about the computer stuff.

Good luck!

Ive done it. Its plug and play. The only thing you will need is a 350 computer. Everything else was the same.
