well id have my dad help me of course, and he knows all about cars and how to drop in a new engine (dropped a 350 into an 84 silverado)

i mean getting the engine would be pretty cheap (under $500) and i was wondering what parts i would need for it?

It shouldn't be that hard to do since the mounts should all be the same. Just make sure to get a complete engine and the computer and harness.
