first, i'm almost positive you have a 3.1 (the 3100 is different)

3rd gens are pratically free right now, find a cheap V8 car and use it for parts

you'll need a V8 bellhousing, kmember at the minimum

k-mbrs are they same, from 4cyl~8cyl, just need to look at th emotor mount holes. I think I have a some threads of when I dropped in the 305.

tranny, front springs, radiator (3.1 can be used, but your call), new guage cluster (same yr preferrably), new fuel pump, and the engine harness/ecm for the tpi.


short list of course

also remember that the 350 never came w/a 5spd from the factory, so if you have a built up one, nake sure the tail housing is the vss type, not the speedo cable, as it will create fewer headaches.
