So I blew my 305 in the 82 Z28 a few weeks ago and I picked up a 350 out of a Chevy Suburban. Anyway I disconnected any wires I seen, my exhaust, my driveshaft, throttle cables, and the one tranny mount I seen but It still won't slide forward enough and the motor still won't lift out(The radiator and AC are both out as well as the fans so it has enought room). The mount for the transmission I seen was right at the tail end, near the front of the driveshaft. Is there any other mounts I should know about(The tail end of the transmission, and the two motor mounts are the only ones I see)? Since I'm down there I was going to buy a new exhaust as well, considering I'm already buying headers, but when I looked around I didn't find much for the year 1982. What websites or companies sells them?

 

Did you take the shifter out??

As far as the exhaust. i personally havent seen much. But do a search on jegs.com or summit.com for it. Im sure they will have something for your. i saw one from borla that was all stainless. almost a grand for the catback though!! OUCH!

 

theres also a bar that runs along the rear end to the tranny is that undone?

 

shifter cable unhooked?
