Engine Swap

Hey guys need some help on an engine swap I looking at doing got my hands on a 350 LO5 TBI motor out of a 93 Buick roadmaster computer and all. Looking at dropping it in my 85 Sub. What I need to know what kind of issues am I going to have so I can make this as painless as possible. going to go over the engine before I take it out and drop it in.

Should be a bolt in job. Not too much wiring on a tbi motor. I hope you got the fuel pump and stuff too. You need it.

Are you planning to retain the TBI or swapping to a carb?

Then just drop it in, wire it up, set up the fuel sytem, and fire it up. Shouldn't take more than a day.
