I'll donate an AMC 2.5L four.

It will even bolt to the stock bellhousing. :getin:

It's been sitting in the corner of my yard since 2011 or so, came out of a 1990 Comanche, and will probably rot into the ground sometime, much like this Camaro if 14 doesn't rescue it.

e: I have the ECU for the stock TBI fuel management system somewhere around here, not sure where.

Not sure if this car is auto or 5-speed, but 350 was automatic only, because the :siren:WORLD CLASS-T5:siren: couldn't handle the pavement-wrinkling torque of an '80s 350. Also, the 350 cars develop a crack in the metal right at the upper corners of the door windows because the wet noodly chassis flexes and twists like a motherfucker unless you add subframe connectors to it. This may not be an issue with the T-Top cars - they just leak instead.

That said, mine has a 383 and weld-in SFCs :agesilaus:

FWIW, second-gens do this too.

It's loving bizarre, but one of the toughest SBC swaps is into a car that had the SBC as a factory option.
I did this swap in... 2007? So it's not exactly fresh in my mind. FI 2.8 to Gbody carb SBC, slushboxes all around. From what I recall:
That torque arm thing that ties the diff to the transmission is the main issue. The transmission is a primary rear end locating member on these stupid cars (because sweet burnouts).
You need the transmission out of a V8 F-car, because the existing transmission has the FWD bell pattern but you still need somewhere for the big stupid arm to bolt up. You can swap the tailshaft/slip yoke housing onto a non-F transmission under some circumstances, but poo poo gets weird elsewhere if you do.
Motor mount clamshells will bolt right up, the bosses are pre-drilled on the subframe for all 3 engines. But the engine side of the mount is F-specific, and if you try to use anything else the engine sits about 2.5" too high meaning the big stupid arm won't bolt up and your trans dipstick has nowhere to exist. Latter doesn't apply to manuals but the former is still a pretty big deal.
FI-Carb means you have to pull the sender and gently caress around. No access hole, and the lines run very close to the body on these so making one is extremely risky. But the fuel tank sits on top of the rear axle, so you get to drop that completely (and all those arms are usually bolt-snappin' seized) and then getting it back in again is an exercise in gently caress JUST KILL ME NOW.
I had to run all new fuel line, the mechanical fuel pump needs a bigger line since it sucks across the length of the car rather than pushing from the tank side as in an efi car.
And just hundreds of frustrating little things that took between hours and weeks to hunt down. And cost-wise, well let's just say that had I started with a V8 car and spent the same amount of money (even factoring in that my v6 camaro was also free, and a v8 car wouldn't have been free) it would have been a low 13 second car.

Sounds like you did it the hard way. There are aftermarket torque arms and mounts that don't require the correct transmission, and I would have just replaced the EFI fuel pump in the tank with a low-pressure one. The pumps don't vary in size all that much, and the one for a TBI early third-gen should be low enough pressure for a regulator to handle it.
Of course, I'd go EFI myself, because tuning carbs sucks.

I really like the hopped up 3.4 option since it seems you have to gently caress with less systems to do that? Motor in motor out?

IIRC, some of the last 3rd gens came with a Buick 3800. LAst RWD application of that motor.


e: f,b on the Iron Duke, and I do not recall correctly. It was the 4th gens that had the 3800. Still, a 3800 Series II supercharged would be neat! Or get really weird: EFI, twin turbo, flathead Ford.

The most 14 inchesque engine swap is pretty obvious.

The 2.3L inline four Chevy Vega engine. It features an all aluminum block backed up by a cast iron cylinder head. It's design is pure genius.

Well, I don't have all the details yet but apparently between Wednesday night and now, the lancer has not been returned, her phone was stolen, the camaro was recovered, and she needs to pick up her gun from the Burien police department.

So she might need the camaro for a couple more days.
