Post by: justin kopac on October 03, 2011, 01:57:10 PM
   i have a 91 chevy 4x4. last week the motor locked up and i need my work truck. so i'm thinking about taking the running gear out of my bogger and trying to fit it in my work truck.. does anyone think i can get the 390 ford big block wit a c-6 transmission and divorced transfer case into a 91 chevy z71?

I'll take $150 for the 305 runs good but could use tune up. can hear it run before I pull it the 350 is a mild 350 I want $800 for that..

sounds like it would be easier to do a body swap!

The swap youre thinkin about doin will cost you more than a tbi 350, and youll have somethin that nobody wants when you get done.. They are $350-400 all day long around here. Sell your bogger or some of the parts to it and buy what ya need.
