well i just spent a few more hours reading old threads and it cleared some things up, but...

-still need to know if there are any common problems or quirks that im looking for with the 350 before i decide if i want it, also maybe a general estimate on what it costs to rebuild it (maybe with a more torquey cam or something while im in there)

-seems like the marks kit is simple as simple can be for this, so i need to know if theres an advantage to running either a chevy clutch or toy clutch over the other

-still dont know too much about wiring it up, things like vacuum for the brake booster, throttle linkage, and other details

-as for position motor mounts... seems like i bolt it up to my tranny/tc, throw it in there, something about a 3/4 inch offset to d/s, then tack it, measure it, measure it again, once more, then weld away?

-do things like my stock heater hoses hook up to the 350 somehow?

sorry for yet another sbc thread, and even more seemingly dumb questions, but this was something that i hadnt even planned on learning about for a while... but when oppurtunity knocks...

one last thing, im smog exempt, and i dont want no smog stuff on this new motor... i dunno what all an 83 suburban has on it yet, but while the motor is between cars, ill be stripping off what i dont need... what i dont know is what exactly i dont need and if itll change anything regarding the swap... maybe i should check out this motor first and see what its got eh?
