Engine swap to a V-8

As far as the electrical. Your right, most of the dash I didn't bother to splice into. But the dash and running lights work. Also have my own set of gauges to monitor the engines vitals (temp, oil, volts). It's really an easy swap to do, I'd like to see more.

Suppose if it would work at all it would be a small block Chevy V-8. The 350 has to be the most made engine in the world. Before my disappointing 85 Camero and 89 Firebird, I had a 71 Camero with a 350 engine. It was always a joy and ease to work on unlike the newer cars.
What about the other systems? do you have heat and ac? In Oklahoma ac is a requirement unless one is a lizard.
Good Luck with your project and please be careful.
