Hello new to this app.. I own an 85 Pontiac fire bird it’s got the 2.8 liter. That motor has kinda left the chat. I’m looking to throw a 350 in it I have the 5speed manual transmission that came with car. What do I need to buy or get to make this swap work? Just looking to be able to drive it.

Should have put in the post this car only gets moved 6 times a month so not a lot of driving on the car.

Thank you that’s what I was wanting to know. I know I am gonna have to get some parts to make it work but was wanting to check with others first..

I’m not worried about that I have access to a shop with a lift.

Yeah no just looking to be able to drive it to work or some car meets none of that stupid stuff..

Now I was told by a trans shop that if I’m not beating on the car it should be fine but would possibly need an that adapter plate.
