how would i got about swapping my 305 tpi to a 406?? i needa know all i can, also could i keep my 700r4 tranny behind it or wut?? LMK cuz im in dire need of assitance here...

 

this is my first swap.... maybe some1 could walk me through it

 

Location (Emissions)? $$$ to spend? Preferences? Usage?

 

i wanna keep the cost of the entire set up on tha motor under 1000, tha motor will cost me around 300(short block). wut all would i need to make it complete?

 

A lot more money

 

figured...
but wut about going carbed?

 

400 bored 30 over, kb 9.1 pistons, stock crank and rods, flywheel, balancer, new oil pump, new rings, clevite bearings, new freeze plugs. needs honed

 

You need heads, and not just any old heads either. You could make it run with a set of crap smogger 882's or 993's. It wont be worth a crap though. You could probably get by with some really ported L98 heads, maybe open the chambers up a little. You will need a new intake. A new distributor, stocker will work but you will need a good coil, module, etc. Headers. Spark plugs and wires. Gasket kit. Oil. Antifreeze. Cam and lifters. The list goes on and on.

I wouldnt attempt what you are without a lot more money.

 

hey general, whats happening?

 

you'll need gas also.
j/k, but do a and you'll find TONS of info. it will take you as long to read through all the info as it takes to save the ton of money you'll need to git 'er done

 

well could i get a list of everything i will need?? or are yall clueless lol

 

Search. If you dont want to take the time to research, why should we?

 

i already did and didnt find nuttin. if i did find somthin i wouldnt be asking

 

asking like that is not going to get you any help real quick ...LOL





Okay so what is the exact question you are trying to ask us ?? is it what should I put in my engine? or is it how do I build an engine ? or is it tell me what you think I should put in this engine ??

do you kind of see the problem here...

 

I believe he is looking for an exact rundown of everything he needs to get this engine swap done. Its Pretty basic to find. The reason I said what I did is because he would benefit greatly from reading the past posts on this. Its a long list, and no one wants to take the time to type out something like that, that could be found by searching.

 

yeah but searching is too hard for some people.....LOL

 

I forgot.

 

I SBC is a SBC they are the same size.

This might give you an idea. On my build up

The 700R4 will connect to it using a 168 tooth flexplate.
Sice your using a 168 flexplate you will need a different starter.
(Stock starter is 153 tooth)

Did I change you mind yet ???

This does not include a tune....

 

well i guess my real question is how to build it.... wut all would go in the build of a motor

 

When I got my short block. I had an engine builder tear now and put back together for $300. He double checked the work that was done to the motor.

If you have the skill set and if you have the tools. You can build it yourself. Excluding the machine work if need....

 

That question is best answered by the engine builder/ machinist. It is not as simple as buying a set of wheels and tires. You need a plan. Things work out much cheaper in the end. Fuel quality, intended usage(street, drag, road race etc), emmisions all factor in. Talk to a pro.
