Chevy Small Block Gen 1 v8 swap pictures!?!?

[jdkvice]

I'm trying to track down the pictures of this swap. I first saw them on this site, i've searched and searched cant find it. Im in the middle of the v8 swap, I'm putting in a small block 350, carbed. I've seen it done and done again. I even saw it in person at a recent swap meet. I have the motor down in the bay. I swapped in the lt1 cradle and have all the lt1 mounts. One side lines up, the other just requires a plate to catch all the bolts. I'm just having some probs getting the motor back far enough, matter of two inches... Just thought id take a look at some pics but cant find anything! Thanks for the help.

just curious, why didn't you go ls1? is the lt1 easier to swap in any way?

Im not swapping an lt1. Its a gen 1 motor. This particular block is yr 77 I believe. And why!? Well, I dont know alot about an ls1, or even how to begin wiring one. Oh...and didn't want to spend the money on something I dont know about...in my books that would be a bad investment. We build cirlce track cars and I know the gen 1 chevy inside and out. I came across a good deal on a few extra blocks and one complete motor. The complete is going into the car for now, get it moving for the summer or so. Then I have a 400 4bolt and a 350 4bolt on the stand...we'll see how money goes and see what I build. I've just been trying to track down the few pictures of the swap that I've seen before. Just check out a cpl clearance issues. Thanks for the help guys!

lt1 is a 2nd gen SBC, not a first
