Icurrently have a 85 fltwood brougham 4.1 ht4100 engine.I want to swap this weak engine for a 350.Does any one know what i would need to do this or have any tips on how to do it.Will i need new ecm,motor mounts ,drive shaft or what things will i need? I have the cash to do this project but want to know what to look out for before i get started.

 

dont know where you live, but you got several issues.

the convertion
and
the EMISSION regulations.

in CA, it doesnt pay to do any covertions as the State
will not allow to get a license unless the engine is an
approved engine for the vehicle in question

 

Im not to worried about emissions and stuff like that, i live in sa, tx and there not to big on stuff like that down here. So far I found out i will need different cross member and shorten the drive shaft also change the fuel pump, all depending if i wanna stay fuel injected. If i go carb i heard the swap would be alot easier an painless in wiring.Has any one done this swap before?

 

I live in SA also, I havent done any swaps like that but the last time i was at pick n pull (about a month ago) they had an 80's something broughham for sale in the yard for 1500.00. body in good shape and it said motor over heats.....had a 5.0 litre (305ci) so you might be able to get everything you need off of it and then sell the body. interior was great also.

 

I also saw the brougham there its a 90-93 fleetwood. Im waitin until they put it in the yard to be parted out so i can get the front clip bc it has the one head light instead of the two.What kind of lac u got?
