My 4.3L V6 engine went out on me and i was wondering what all i would have to do to switch it out with 5.7L V8 350. i know they are alot more common, i just didnt know if it would fit, or if i would have to get brackets for it or what. Thank you.

Hi:
I can tell you it will work, but new motor mounts will be needed. However, we do not recommend anything other than what the vehicle came with.
