Its pretty simple just alot of work. What is great is that the frame is already drilled for a v8 too. Once you get the engine out you have to remove the engine mounts and replace them with chevy 350 mounts. You have to move those 350 mounts toward the radiator on the next set of holes on the cross member and its easy too see. Next you have too move the trans crossmember to desired postion for trans its already drilled too. Finally I use low profile headers and you can use the stock radiator also! I have a 76 skylark with a 350 and TH350 trans and it use to have an v6. Its a great ride!
