its a pretty straight forward swap if you keep the original tranny... other than all electronics and fuel system that accompany that motor. correct me if im wrong, but if you order the pilot bearing from ADVANCE ADAPTERS you can bolt up any stock chevy V8 transmission just fine with only one bolt that doesnt line up.
