Hey guy's I need a little help here. I have been doing searches on this topic in archive and I seem to keep getting the 510 swap. Is there something I am missing or is it similar to the dime? Rob

Very similar.

KA into SPL311 is a common swap, your biggest issue is motor mounts.

I really have not dug into the car yet. The original motor is pulled though. I guess at this moment the deal is motor mounts which I have no idea on where to go on that one. I did find a site thought that said something about truck KA mounts. The 510 install on this site should be super helpful though. The crossmember seems to be easy compared to the mounts.
