Wrong section. Try the section called "Engine Swap."

if its in an S10 or a blazer- go to summitracing.com. they have mounts and headers as a kit. an upgraded radiator is a big thing that you should worry about also. try to change it to carbuerated or you're gonna be dealin with a buncha bullshit wiring efi. that 5 speed and lil 10 bolt prolly arent gonna take much punishment. get a th350 and a strong posi for the rear and you'll have somethin worth a ****. i helped my dad put together an 83 blazer witha built 355 a few years ago. it was a fun lil ride but took a while to get it right. hope this helps!
