I know I'm fixing to open a whole can of worms here but. I would like to know if it is possible to swao in an older 350 small block with carb into a 99 Camero. If so what motor mounts headers etc. I have a 99 v-6 auto :thk::beerchug:

Why would you? Are you stuck with an older engine or something? There are so many LT/LS engines int yards right now that would bolt up with that cars V8 mounts. And ultimitely have more power capabilities. The older engine will require some fab work and would be a bigger pain in the but.

you can still run a carb on an LS motor. Cant say this is a cheap setup, I guess it depends on what you think cheap is. The 'CPU' is little more than a box that looks like a MSD
