Level of difficulty is relative to the person doing the job...

As for fabbing: if it's a Chev 350 block, it's quite simple, as there are a lot of kits made for that engine swap. MSA sells a kit w/ most of the needed parts. But yes... online classifieds / chevy forums are prolly your best bet.

Shredding tires til you hit your 4000 rpms redline... But gawd, talk about a torque monster. You'd be using your Z to tow your truck...and your boat....at the same time

good, then dont touch it then naviathan, anybodies around here seem to, especially when they get any of the gaskets replaced by the dealer or any other mechanic, i dont know if its the gasket quality, but it just seems to pour out the oil after awhile.

Maybe they found that the V12 they had was one of the porous castings that caused many an engine change.
