Quite a few people can do the swap for you, PBJ (London, Ontatio Canada, Rockcrawl, (PA)), DarthFiero, (IL?), Ed parks , (Tonery AL) and many more I forget)
The swap can be quite involved, Some issues, wiring (ED PArks sells a harness for $700), Mounts (many sources Ed Parks, Bubba Joes), Axles etc

I think Darth Fiero is currently in Iowa but plans to move to Indiana soon.

#2 Depends upon your Skill level, Space available for the swap and the equipment you have access to.

#3 Ed Parks Harness, Rockcrawlly dude for the Chip

#4 PM sent

#5 no adapter needed, bolts up but need Flywheel. PM sent.

Topic of this thread should be changed to "I wanna copy James"

Ya know, Craigs doing a 3800SC, you should do that.

Plan on spending four grand to do the swap (2K for parts, 2K just because (or labor)). Not saying that it'll cost that much, but it is a good idea to have enough money set aside for the "Oh spit" things that always seem to pop up (AKA: better safe than sorry - and unable to drive your car). Mine cost a little more than that (mainly because I added the 88 cradle/suspension sort of late in the planning). Worst case, contact Rockcrawl, PBJ, Ed Parks, etc - they are all helpful and knowledgeable about the 4.9 swap.

Plus any $$ left over can be used for something else on the car after the engine is in and working...
