1980 C10 4.1l To 5.7l Engine Swap

[FROZENTHRONE]

I'm Looking For Information Or Manuals That Might Cover
Engine Swaps For My Old 4.1l To A 5.7l (1980 Chevrolet C10). It Can Include Any
5.7l From 1980 To The Present. Thank You.

not hard you need the v-8 block mounted engine mount brackets and also exhaust pipe or pipes and preferably wiring harness for v8, also larger fuel line- 3/8" if you use 4bbl carb, and youll need some other items too but thats most of it, the accelerator cable you might need to swap to v8 one for year of carb you use. and getting tranny cable brackets figured out might be no fun you may have to use different cable too

if the 4.1L runs good and if you arent real mechanically inclined then i would leave it, especially if you dont have a stash of cash for exhaust and other systems conversion right now
