Oh god.... Make this easier on yourself get a 302 because the distributor is in a better place. Alot of yota guys swap 350s in and and you have to cut the firewall. So get the 302, (it may be ford) but its actrully an easier swap. But if it was me I would cut the frame and extend it maybe a 8-10 inches and drop a 455 big block, munchie 4 spd in that sucker. And just cut the hood up. But then again... Im a redneck and thats what I do lol
