350 old school carb engine install

I have a 87 rx7 that i just dropped a 1990 chevy sm bl into. Does aybody have any info on wiring up starter, alt, and fire for distributor. Besides that the only other thing i'm waiting on is alt and p.s. bracket. I guess for now i'll stick with my 350 trans, but thinking about switching to overdrive later because of high gear in the rear. Thanks

Thanks for that info man, I know i'm going to love it can't wait to start up, maybe not this weekend but for sure by next weekend i'll have it running. I got everything hooked up now but cooling system. I hear some people have engine heating problems with these swaps, do you know anything about that?

I never had one run hot, but I used good radiators, positioned right, and electric fans. Was your car standard or auto before the 350?

Its was a standard but I'm putting a 350 auto in it, until i get tired of the 410 in the rear. Sometime i think about putting a overdrive or 5 speed back in it. I think a stick would be fun, I bet i'd surprise some people on the high ways after jumping on side of it.
