i have been working on a 350 swap for about a year now and i am ready to start it. And then i will hook up the steering colum and u joints to the steering box here is a pic.
Wow ~ nice job . Any dumbsh*t (like me) who gives you any guff about you shoulda left in the 6 banger , slap him
Looks great! So Jason, looks as tho the front end stayed original. Is this correct? Are you going to swap the drums for disks? I suppose the trans is an auto and the back end is open, but wudya go with? You got that lookin' so good, I bet it will be hard to hide inside some fenders and hood! Oh, and one udder ting. What are you going to turn this with, and will it be column shift or floor? Let me know when you get a chance. Thanks! Zig
I have a 700r4 trans that a guy made it so it would only go into overdrive in fourth gear and i am going to have a floor shifter. and i am going with a dual resvor master cylinder with drums all around and then maybe after a while i might have to change to disc brakes
Thanks for the info! What back end did you go with? Stock springs? Sway bar? What kind of steering column? What shifter? (And are you cutting a new floor panel?) What about the resivor? Is it firewall? I hate the idea of having things under the floor! (But if it works and works for me, I could change my mind! :^) Thanks again, Jason!
FWIW ; the stock AD radiator is way overkill for any big V-8 ~ if you experiance overheating with the stock radiator , it's plugged and needs rodding out or the engine has problems .
I'll limit this to one question so I don't sound like that squirrel in "Over the Hedge"... What back end did you go with and did you swap the springs as well? Okay, that was two! I guess I just can't help myself!
what brand headers are you using?I tryed some sandersons on mine and no way would they clear the steering box even after moving the box out 2 1/2 inches.looks very nice
350 swap I'm sure I missed out on the vehicle model # somewhere down the line since I'm new here. I don't recognize the heater set-up. The motor looks great and looks like everything fit in neetly. What did you use for mounts since you stayed with the original frame? Mine has a 350 but it all came with the front clip I put on. Looks like it sits low enough that you want have to modify your floor pan????? The BOOPS dad
yea is sits low enought to were i didn't have to modify the floor pan and i got the enigne and trans mount from chevy duty
Dual master cylinder with std brakes Jason, You mentioned a while back that you were going with a dual master cylinder conversion but keeping drum brakes all around. I am assuming that no brake booster was added. Can you tell me which MC you went with? Make and model of the car it was orignially meant for would help. Thanks, Gater
I am getting a dual master cylinder from classic proformance parts and the mounting bracket to make the master cylinder work.
Ha Jason look's like a nice fit. Question for you with all that juice why stock drum brakes ? Also what gearing is in the transmission espically 4th/overdrive ?
