Default engine swap

hello. I'm new to this forum and I would like to know has any attempted to put a vortec 4.8 liter engine into an early model Monte Carlo. If so, I would like to see pics of this install and what problems you ran into trying to do this.

Welcome to the forum! I have no useful information regarding the swap, but I'm sure someone here has the information that you are looking for. Good luck.

A buddy of mine has a late 80's Monte, and he put one of those motors in. Not sure all he did, but I know one of his headers was rubbing against a mount.
