Found a 350 Pontiac engine with a Buick TH350. I need advice on everything that I will need for this engine swap from a V6 231! Is this a direct fit or will I have to majorly modify anything?? Thanks homies 🙏🏾💯

P.S: this is my first ever engine swap too as well

Do you know the make, model and year of the car your working on? Kind of important information to give before anyone can gives you advice.

Nothing insurmountable.. the poncho will not bolt to the 231 frame pads. You'll need to source/fab mounts. Once that is done you'll have some wiring to take care of and normal swap stuff.

FYI a Buick 350 is a direct swap. They are pretty cheap and easy to find in the Buick world.

How did you find out what car he's working on?

I was trying to find a Buick 350 but no luck. Found a few 350 SBCs tho I was kinda leaning towards that but I looked at all of the modifying you may have to do

Why not go with a 350 Olds motor?

I couldn’t find one

My guess is it will be easier to find an Olds 350 than it will be to swap in a Pontiac.

olds 307 and 403

Yeah, the Buick 350 is a near direct swap. What year Pontiac 350? I believe the early motors won't work on the 301 mounts, which work best in a G body. I hate seeing sbc/ls in everything, a Pontiac V8 is at least something different.
