83 Delta 88 swap possibilities.
I have a 1983 88 with a measly 231. I am seriously looking at swapping in a 350, but I am not quite sure which 350's will "work" or swap in easily. I have found a 1972 Olds 350 and TH350 Would these be an easy swap? I am also looking at swapping in a Buick 350.
I haven't dealt much with B-Bodies, so excuse my ignorance.

Ugh, the 231.
You could drop in the 231 from the Grand National.
Any Olds motor will drop in that car. I had a 350 in an 85 Delta 88 that I totalled a few years ago. You can put a BBO in them too. They will fit, just a little tight.
Motor mounts go in the middle of the block. I found that out the hard way.
You MAY have to do some wiring. I think the Buick 231 has the alternator on the other side
