Purely hypothetical but curious. How hard would it be to throw the current generation 350 motor in the same current 450 chassis? To my knowledge the frames are the same but I’m guessing there’s other things that would need swapped as well? I would think ecu and exhaust. What about the throttle body? Anyone have any experience or knowledge with this?

Throttle body is the same.  Airboot is different.  Engine mount brackets are same.

I wonder if a 23 up 350 engine would fit in my 22 350 chassis ?

I’m guessing no but others could verify this

There's nothing that much better/different to justify the trouble.

I would think a rebuild would be way more cost effective even if you pay to have it done.

That's what I'm debating. Do a rebuild with 366 kit or sell mine back to stock (suspension, clamps and bit parts .) and by new 25
