Default Goin Bigger

I was wondering if I would have to move the motor mounts if I wanted to put in a bigger engine and what I would have to also move the transmission mounts too.

a little bit, my camaro came with a 305, i dropped a 350 in it. it accually went in very smoothley. u can get away with a few mounts sometimes, but if it gives u too much of a problem, take the time and do the mounts right.

Not sure what motor you have, but if it is a v6 that you are tring to replace, then you most likely will need to move the motor mounts. v8 for v8 shouldn't have a problem.

Sorry it took so long to respond. Its a 94 3.4L v6...i think the engine size is a 207 cid...i wanna try and put like a 350 in there if possible and if not then something is close to a 350. And should i stick with fuel injected or carb...because i can do a lot more with a carb engine.

You will need the V8 engine mounts, a V8 trans and cross member, drive shaft, exhaust ect. Since the cars were offered in both V6 and V8 the swap is not that hard, you just need the V8 specific parts. If you want to injected you will need the computor and wire harness as well.
