  • The day has finally come to swap the tired old 350 Chevy in my buddy's 1977 Corvette, for a 355 Chevy with a little bit more "sauce". Then we will clean, and detail the engine bay in preparation for this new crown jewel! Come along for part one of this adventure, and enjoy our trials, tribulations, and eventually success!!

    Paulie - brother - this video was incredible!! You are highly skilled and a great teacher. The video features funny parts and highly informational parts . I cannot rave enough. The music choice was top notch.

    Outstanding! The tip on label parts in a zip lock bag was great. I’ve done that on Tanks, heavy equipment and wheel vehicles. Worked flawlessly every time no mix up and no extra! I’ll wait in line for TH350 Transmission swap for my 85 El Dog. I’m just around the corner. Sapper37 out!

      When you've got the trans we can do the swap! Let me know when you're ready and we can work something out!

      Paulie's Power Hour hey I know your busy so respond at your leisure.
      I’m have been doing my recon on getting a transmission. I definitely prefer local vs online unless you know better. You may have told me already but who is best to purchase from? what specifically am I looking for at What price with warranty and guarantee? Anything else you can provide as the SME is very helpful cause I’m clueless and don’t want to make a costly mistake.
      I appreciate your assistance more than you can imagine.

    So glad I came across yalls swap! I'm also doing a similar swap but with a 383, my friends got as far as having everything swapped out and mounted (including trans cause I had it rebuilt) while I got stationed elsewhere and I just got it back! Now I just have to figure out how to plumb and wire everything (Chef by trade, youtube mechanic for fun, lol). I have a feeling I'll be watching these a whole lot over the coming months

    Pulling my 427 out of my 69 very soon. Sure could use that engine cradle once the engine is out.

      I'm working on a 67 Vette with a 427 at the shop. Very clean, tri power carbs, and runs like a dream!

    Loves me a C3 engine swap! I could watch this for days.
    My wife says “What the hell is that disco music?!! Turn it down!” The music is kinda loud compared to your talking. Yeah, it’s way loud. But it’s good music. Yeah, no it’s freakin awful music. But C3 engine swap, so...

    Hi, great vid. I've got a 77 myself and was wondering (labor cost) to install a new engine. The old one is already out. What should I expect to pay?

      At the end of the day it's Mikey's car. Plus he was able to get all this past his wife. If the wife approves a whole new engine, you swap in a new engine!
