anyone know where to get parts that will work on this 307? Anyone know if the tranny bellhousing is the same as an olds 350 and if it would basically swap right in? thanks...

bell housing is your basic Buick, Olds, Pontiac, Caddilac any of these motors will "bolt up" to your bell housing with the proper flexplate and torque convertor. so you could even run a big 500" caddy in there or a 455 Poncho

what about engine mounts? Luckily its carbed so no computer stuff in the way

my guess with out acually seeing it would be it would need engine mounts of the swaped engine if you go Big Block but if you stick to a small block olds they would be the same

Yes, an Olds 350 will bolt right into your car. The mounts are even the same(basically).
It's a VERY common swap.
