Re: TOY: Engine swaps in CA?

Yeah, the one that you would think would be the most legal is the farthest 
from it.  I've done the 350 swap into an 83 pickup, it does not fit.  We 
ended up cutting the firewall out and relocating it back about 3 inches back. 
 The only reason for this was so we could keep the stock radiator support and 
hood latch.  I've seen people get away with a 3" body lift, putting the 
radiator where the radiator support normally goes, and "massaging" the 
firewall back with a hammer. The wiring isn't bad either because you can just 
use the appropriate Painless Wiring kit.  If I were you I would try and find 
a 4.3 as close to the year of your as possible.  Blah, Blah, Blah, I've been 
yapping too long.
