288 swap for 327 - what's involved?

Posted by Steve On 2019/9/7 13:04:34

Can anyone advise on what's involved with removing the 288 motor out of a 22nd series car and replacing it with a '51 five-bearing 327? It's my understanding the blocks are either the same or very similar, but is the engine mounting the same? I'm assuming the standard shift transmission bolts the same to either one.

I went back through the forum looking for previous discussion on this topic; closest I found was the 356 327 327 288 discussion from 2013.

Many thanks for any assistance you can provide-
