Re: Best route for a new 350 TPI?

That seems like a great price for a ZZ4 Long Block! Do you know if the engine is a 1 piece rear main seal? (It says Internal Balance) And are those the old school type 58cc Corvette Heads?

Re: fuel pressure drops really fast on 305 tpi

I think that what you are seeing with the fuel pressure is normal.

Part of your idle problem is that the fuel pressure is probably too high for a stock 305. Lower the fuel pressure to 44psi with...
