the 76 l82 is 210 horsepower and 255 torque and your 91 throttle body 305 is 170 horsepower and 255 torque. they have the same torque bukt the l82 has more horses. Should run pretty good. good luck with it. Is it an auto or 5 speed now?

Make sure when you put that engine in, you put a ground from the block to the firewall.
I agree with jjz28, a good header would definitely do the trick.

I am looking into headers now. Just not sure what to choose there are so many. How do you ground it?

It now has a 700 so the T10 may be hard.
