Well, I am not too sure where I should be posting this. And, since I have a 3.8L I suppose that this would be the best spot. Feel free to move it to the correct forum if I am wrong. I had plans to do bolt ons to my V6, but have decided my money would be better spent doing an engine swap. The engine I speak of would be a 302 w/ 320 hp(quite a bit faster than my 190hp I have now!) I will be purchasing the fuel injector kit needed for the swap, from the place I am getting the engine from(about 2 years from now, bleh). I wonder what else I will have to change, I know engine mount brackets will be changed. I am not sure what else, a new tranny??? If so, which one? What else would I need to do to make the engine fit, and work?
