: Ive got a chance to pick up the above w/ AOD for $250.00. The engine is tired, but I want to bore/stroke it out to a 347 CID...so who cares. My main question is the rear end. Is it a direct swap or ???? I'm also unsure about the drive shaft..will it need to be shortened or ????? Will I need to modify the transmission brace ???? Thanks for your help. Just picked a name for my ride...I'm calling her Candi.
You may want to call Windsor Fox engineering. They are the kings of late model into early model swap info. Make t=sure to save tranny control cables and stuff, as this tranny uises a throttle position cable to determine shift points. Also, keep your Mav rearend.
