Default switch motors from 1 Mariah to another???

We have a 1994 Barchetta 182 with a 4.3 V6. We are considering purchasing a 1994 Mariah 2350Z which currently has a 454 bravo V8 (which is not running right), but will only do so if we can remove faulty engine and put our engine into it. Any ideas if it will fit? If so, how much time involved? how much money it would cost?

    it can be done.... but I think that you would be disappointed with the 4.3 in that size boat. Just my opinion

    If it can't be fixed with WD-40 and Duck Tape..... It aint broke!
