So i have been a member on this board for 3 years and have never posted anything. A little on the car. I got it when i was 16 about 5 years ago and rebuilt the 305 h.o. Ran it for 3 years and spun a rod bearing. After that it sat in my parents back yard and had just been sitting there for the past 2 years. i finally got on my feet and started to rebuild a new 350 to drop in it!! i am super excited about it and felt it was time to make my first post and start gettin a lil active on the board! oh and here are a few pics of the car!! thanks for your time!!!!

well id say welcome to the boards but thats out lol not a bad job where are you located? i dont know if you looked around the SW forum but im trying to organize everyones info to make things a little easier with our cars for car shows/ track etc even working on them lol plus it seems that being well connected gives us access to alot of parts that would take alot longer to find

Jessemarks

Where in Tempe are you? I might have some time tomorrow to swing by and see what we can find about her to get her running.

dont use that timing cover
or get rid of the timing tab on it that is not for a 350
id guess it is off of your 305?????

i made this mistake in the past your timing will be way off
ask me why i know

id like to save your new bearings too

The timing tab will be fine on that timing cover as long as the cranke is a 2 piece rear main seal. That's the same one I used on my 350 from an 82 Caprice. You will be fine depending on the engine itself.

it must coincide with the balancer used with that timing cover/tab
or it will be overadvanced

Jessemarks

well i am going to take the tab off be cause my h. balancer came with a little tab that bolts on to the timing cover! but thanks for the concern. but yeah i am pulling the motor thats in the car now today so i can get all my bolt ons and what not out. haha im takin a break now because its so damn hot out. best time of the year to start a project!!

Would be easier to go to Autozone or Checker and get a chrome timing cover especially if you have a new tab already.

Jessemarks

well it took for ever to get my finances straight but i got her on the road! it has a little over 100 miles on the new motor and so far no problems! here is a video of it starting up!!!
