Hi I'm new to this forum and my topic might be a little hard for some to digest but I'm straped I need to get my firebird out of my brothers garage and I have a perfect running 350 with a 350 turbo trans out of a 77 silverado truck, and I was curious if I could drop those into my 79 firebird? or if it's even possible, would I have to get or change the motor mounts and trany mount...I still have the truck maybe I could use some parts from that. If you just want to bash me for this idea I don't care, but if you have a good idea or a link that might be helpful I would be much gratful.

Get some 2nd gen Camaro engine/frame mounts. Is the truck a 2wd? Do you have the old tranny out of the 'bird? If so, measure and compare the two.

I hope it's only temporary. The 2wd truck trans is likely to have a longer tail than what came Firebird. You would have to shorten the drive shaft. Starter is on the wrong side. Either move battery or get a really long cable. I have a 77 Firebird here that I am parting. It came from the factory with a chevy. I might have the frame mounts, battery tray, and chevy wiring harness that would make your swap easier and reversable, for when you want ot put a pontiac motor in it. Email me if you have interest. Chevy junk will go cheap. pontiacmaniac@suscom.net

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
