i think that all you will have to do is change the motor i dont remember if 262 is chevy or oldmobile ? if it is olds you will have to change the motor mounts and you probley are gonna changer the trans as well its pribly a 200c not to good for power so go with the engine and trans out of the donner car

You might have to re-route the battery cable to the starter. I'm not sure but I think the starter is on the opposite side for the Pontiac engine. Definitely get rid of the stock trans if you had a 4.3 V6 in the car. It will not hold up to the V8.
