Alright guys im a big noob here i got pretty good mechanic skills i work on Jet Skis and other stuff but havnt done anything major with a car but wana start so go ahead and pull the jokes and stuff but im pretty commited to do this. I wana know if there is a kit that includes engine mounts or trans mounts or whatever i need to swap my 3.8 out of my 97 firebird and put a 350 in it. it most likley will just a be a older carberated motor not the 350 5.7 that goes in the 97 formula unless using this motor would be easier? Bassicaly i have a good idea how do it but i have no idea what i need but anything you guys think i should know please post.Also if theres any links or stickeys or other threads please post. Any input will be highley appreaciated. thanks guys !!

unless you can afford gas mileage these days, buy a crate motor. But if you wanna spend a little extra, buy a ls1 w/transmission package.

Best thing you can to to preserve your sanity is get rid of it and buy a v8. j Yes it can be done I just sold a car I did it to was it worth it??? It went together nice but it was a ton of work and way more expensive than buying a current year model v8.

like both of these guys stated it would be easier to find a v8 car and just go with that....but if you want a project and get rid of your noobiness from the ground up...take on the challenge just realize its gonna take a long time and a lot of money.....
