    now that ive got my big block for my skylark im that much closer to putting the 350 in my regal. so my first question would be about motor mounts,would motor mounts from a 72 skylark work for a 83 regal? second what else do i need to consider for this kinda swap?

    Yes the early mounts will work, but they are the same as 3.8 V6 mounts that may already be in the car. Radiator from a V8 car. Front end springs should be okay, its only like 35-40 lbs more weight. Fan shroud from a V8 car.

    should be the right size fan shroud then.
