Motor swap question
ok so my 91 LX has the 2.3 with an auto trans....I guess I have 2 questions.
first: I've decided I want to keep an auto tranny in the car, to make it driveable for my wife, I'm not a patient person so teaching her stick would be near impossible. If I throw a stock 5.0 in the car, will it bolt up to the existing trans, and will it handle the extra HP for about a year or so till I get the $$$ to build the motor I want and buy a trans to handle around 500 RWHP.
econd question is about the motor swap. HOw much cutting and welding is involved? Also, who makes the best kit for the swap?
