I am using a 70's 350. It was a crate motor (stock) with 8.5:1 compression, but I am adding a Summit cam and 305 HO 58cc heads. It will be carbureted (for now) with HEI distributor. Electric fans. I am keeping all of the 4.3 brackets and accessories, if I can (A/C, pwr steering, alternator, water pump). Plan to completely remove the OBDI computer/harness as well as anything else under the hood that I don't plan to use (charcoal canister, etc.).or here
BTW which 1st gen V8 ? 262, 265, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, or 400? Year? Intended fuel and ignition system:?
Built or stock?
In a 1992 a 350 TBI is as easy as a swap can get. Keep your fuel system, trans, radiator, computer, all front accessories etc. Swap a 1992 350 chip into your ECM get some pipes, mounts, and fans is about all there is to do.
BTW 4.3 mounts wont's work. You'll need 2.8 mounts and adapters. Any 2wd s10 V8 swap headers will work. Then just build a simple DIY dual exhaust system.

Thanks for this information. It helps me out a lot. Do you have any ideas on the factory oil pan? I figured a rear drop pan off of a early 70s passenger car. What do you think?or here
