Re: 305 to 350 swap with TPI

I swapped my car to a 350 and the only thing that had to be changed was the oil pan. Dipstick was on different sides. The 305 exhaust manifold on the driverside will not allow you to use a older 350...

Re: Switch trouble! Help!

I was thinking that the fans on later third gen cars were controlled by the ecm as well as the switch. That would explain why the fans come on at 220 even after you changed the switch. I think the...

Re: 305 tpi on 350 tbi

Re: 305 to 350 TPI swap and engine prep questions
