Might need a taller hood depending on your intake. Exhaust either needs to change to 21/2 or add bigblock headers and sidepipes. The oil pan that is on the 1991 motor might not work with the P/S system if it has p/s. The 1991 is throttle body system, so if your staying with it, fuel pump and wiring upgrades are needed. Then there is a question of the accessory system and what your going with.
He stated he had a donor tranny too.
