Engine and trans swap. 305 automatic to 350 manual
I recently decided to purchase a 1984 z28 as a parts car that came complete with a fully built 350 and a freshly rebuilt 700r4 manual transmission. I would like to drop these two beautiful pieces of machinery into my 1992 rs. What do i need to do or modify to hook up the new engine and to convert the car to having a manual transmission?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well, I'll have to confess to being confused. I assumed the "two beautiful pieces of machinery" were the 350 and TH700. But, then you asked about converting the car to a manual transmission - the TH700 is not a manual transmission.
So, what exactly are you asking?

Re: Engine and trans swap. 305 automatic to 350 manual
The parts car that I have has a 350 with a manual transmission. The car that I currently drive has a 305 with an automatic transmission. I would like to put the 350 and manual transmission into the car that currently has the automatic 305. Engine swap and transmission conversion.
I'm most confused about what must be done to convert the car to manual
