Re: 5.7 TBI to 5.3 Vortec Swap

Just how you figure your 350 only has 200hp!? Anyway, you sound like you lucked in to something real nice. I wouldnt be too worried about the mounts, should be the same. Youl should check with a mechanic or somewhere and make sure you have/get the right pump cuz im not sure that they would be the same. Take you engine out and get all the new stuff in. Then you have an engine and tranny you can rebuild and sell or keep, but i would sell it to get some money to mod the 327.
