I have a 1978 firebird which needs a new engine it has a chevy 350 in it now with a turbo 350 transmission what would I need to do to convert this to a big block car?

badbird5.7

that depends if the car originaly came with the 6.6 then not much cause it was already set up to carry the weight of the 403. If it came with the small block engine then maybe just beef up the suspension. Converting it over to carry the weight of a big block won't be that bad to do

Well the first question is. Do you have money? Any specific reason you want a big block?
