websites or idea would be great

 

What year car are you working on?

 

its going in a 89 camaro rs it has a 305 in it now.. i got the motor for free from my buddy because he said i could beat his 94 z28 this season.... so he gave me a motor to put in mine lol

 

You don't even know what year the pontiac motor is. Third gen Firebirds didn't come with Pontiac motors so you will have to make motor mounts

 

i belive it came out of a 1972 lemans this is wat a was told but im not sure... and im trying to do my reseach before i attepmt it to see if its worth the time...

 

Your going to need a transmission to fit that motor. Those older pontiac 350's in there stock form are not great motors. 71-72 was the beginning of the smog years. Its going to be a lot of work just to gain 20-40 HP.

 

You don't need to put the same question about the engine in two different generation sections, especially if it is an earlier Pontiac engine: https://camaroforums.com/forum/showt...957#post397957
