I'll be durn :clock: this thread is stihl surviving :sign7: and still make'en me lmao.
The biggest thing I hear "bad" about them from the Mopar crowd no less is this. "They only have four main caps." Well, lemmie enlighten you. Yeah, they "only" have four, but I bet you didn't know those main caps are the same size as 426 HEMI caps, did you? Also, they are a deep skirt block, much the same as a big block and HEMI. They are NOT weak engines.

LMAO like i said have got the 350 just some ones got it fix it when it gos bawoooooooom ! lmao :cheers:I hit a rock in my 225 dart sport and ruined my oil pan. This was 50 miles from home. I had no money and no cell phone so me and my brother drove it home with no oil. Changed the pan and added oil at home and that motor ran strong two more years that I know of. Sold it still running. So I'd like to see a 350 do the same lol
It would be the best runign chevy truck around thats for sure lmao :joker:Why fix it lol drop in a 360
This thread makes me chuckle a bit as my buddy has a 56 bel aire. A couple winters ago we pulled a tired 265 out and put a fresh 283 in. Runs pretty good, but now he bought a 10:1 350 on the cheap that he is going to put in soon. He has a 440/727 combo sitting around for his 37plymouth project that has really just become garage decor. I always tease him we should put that 440 in and show everyone the real heartbeat of america. He smile and replies, "I have the technology but I'm afraid I'd get murdered at a car show."
Nah, just too busy fitting my engine to read all of your hate mail. Who cares what I do with MY car? You guys should be happy it might even somehow make yours worth more. Since a Dodge V8 and 4 speed wasn't a bolt in swap either (terrible design running the shifter linkage between the floor and crossmember) I figured I'd do it at a fraction of the price. Oh and I'm using a 302 HO EFI, picked it up for $150 with the harness, computer, and sensors. Transmission for $75 with bellhousing and Foxbody swing pedals for $30. So far everything is fitting great, no issues and no cutting up my floor to mount a manual transmission. After weighing the pros and cons of the 5.0 vs the 5.7 Vortec the 302 won.
Was that english? Come on I know you can do better. I'm not swapping K members and I'm not cutting my floor up to mount a 4 speed hump and re buy carpeting. Now all I have to do is just cut a hole for my shifter. I just put in a new slant K-member and I'm not going to fork out money for conversion mounts because Chrysler couldn't have made universal mounting system. I swapped a Ford pick-up from a 240 inline to a 390 V8 and all I had to do was move the mounts to pre-existing holes and find a bellhousing. Not swap out the rear end and the whole front suspension and all that nonsense.
And he probably things he can pick up a 175k mile LS and put the turbo on without blowing it up too.... :banghead:
I had a slant in a Satellite Sebring that used to pump the oil out the dip stick tube. I just put a hose on it and captured it all in a milk jug, then dumped it back in. Lasted almost two years.
