First Engine Swap!
I'm about to start on my first engine swap and I have a couple questions. I have a 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix with 301 in it and I'm swapping it out for a mildly garage built pontiac 350, and I was wondering if any, what changes need to be made? 
Motor mounts, etc... Also since I'm on a college student's budget and can't afford the headers that would fit, does anyone think a set of Summit Racing 1 5/8 headers for a firebird or trans am from around the same years would fit with little or no modifications? Thanks for the help!

Way back when I swapped a 400 HO Pontiac (from a 72 Grand Prix SJ) along with a rebuilt TH350 transmission into a 1979 Grand Am. If memory serves me, all I did was keep the 301 motor mounts for the 400. I did this as a sophomore in college and it was pretty straightforward. I kept the 301's radiator for a while but eventually switched over to a 4 row unit.
Feel free to ask more questions if you have them.
