Engine swap Dynamic 88
 
I have a 63 Dynamic 88 with a 394 that's getting tired. Is there any other Olds engine that fits directly to the hydra-matic transmission without any major modification. New engine mounts and other small mods are ok. Or it it easier to swap the whole driveline. 394 parts are very scares over here so a new/different engine is easier to obtain. Any thoughts?

OK the 4G63 is not that hard or expensive to find but here's the problem. first of all the trany and cams are on different sides in the 4g63 so the hole engine bay has to be custom fabbed to mount the engine second theres tons of custom fabbing to do so unless you own a garage and know your stuff its even more expensive. third from all the research i have done it costs roughly 7-8 grand from start to finish and that will get the engine in and running.or about that price you can get a GS-T
