What gearbox are you using? The 308 blocks have a trimatic bolt pattern wehreas the 304 blocks have the Chev turbo pattern.

Are you actually using a 308 or a 304?

havent got the motor yet im saving for it. what u reckon is easiest to mount

304 coz they came in vp's. get a kfram and you're set for bolting one in

what i can use v6 driveline?

im talking about bolting it to the chassis. you will need a v8 gearbox and tailshaft to match.

i suggest haveing a search through the site, many people have done the swap before

engine and kframe to mount on it.. v8 gearbox, tailshaft
computer and loom.
dont go vt brakes go next one up ve brakes. bit bigger and are awesome..... close to same price
springs...

just a memcal will do even, delco 808 is the same for v6/v8

can you even bolt VE brakes on? they'res a reason they have 16" wheels minimum

I don't know why you think you need VT brakes anyway. The brake upgrade is nice, but they are not needed for the 5 litre conversion.

i like to have the slow to equal my go. plus i seen some nice slotted rotors pretty cheap...
i would have to get newer hubs to upgrade though... or do they fit straight on?
