Default best engine swap ??

I bought a 88 2 dr blazer for my grandson, the 2.8 in it was blown. Would like to put a v8 in it. Does anyone know the best way to swap one in. have a fresh 350 at home now. IT would be nice to keep the ac if possible ?


Thanks for any help

ron

the 350 is a bolt in they make motor mounts that fit in the 2.8L for the 350. and painless wiring makes a great install wiring kit.

JTR is the company for all your parts. More important is they sell a book on the conversion. What you need, parts, etc. Here is a link to JTR.
