I have an 1984 monte carlo and i was thinking about changing the engine. It currently has a 229. What engine could i put in it which would be the easiest to configure with respect to motor mounts and stuff. 305 or 350 or some other engine.
thanks

You'd fare better off finding a clean Monte SS with the 305 already installed. It will cost less and be better in the long run.

You'll have to upgrade just about everything on the 229 to make it 305 or 350 compatible.

This era Monte never came with a 350, but it can be done CORRECTLY if your budget is fairly large.
