    What's involved in swapping 305 ford w/cobra sx to chevy

    Re: What's involved in swapping 305 ford w/cobra sx to chevy The motors are complete, so it looks like he will only need bellhousing and coupler... He is in Miami so I am sure he will have no trouble finding what he needs. Good news, thanks for the help.

    Borg Warner Velvet Drive will not engage, new motors, Rotation issue?

    Just installed two new PCM motors in my Carver. We put a ton of effort into deturmining which was standard and which was reverse but are not 100% sure of the outcome.
