I'm fabricating my own motor mounts, could probably get by with the factory ones though.

You can pick up a running engine/drivetrain from the salvage yard for about $1000.

A 290 Hp. 6 cylinder is pretty cool in a classic ride.

This is cool and different. However for the same price, I can get the 4.8 with the 4l60e behind it. The 4.8 s an LS based motor, which allows for the ability to get a TON of power. This is the appealing part of the LS motor.

Thanks for the advice guys. Will be shopping for the LS motor this week
