so i bought a 350 out of a 92truck so i could swap it out and still use tbi etc.. but i have this on my 350 block thats not on my 305 and i have no idea what it is, if anyone knows thanks for the help

 

hey there,

bad pic man,

is tha the top and rearof the block

looks like it may be an oil pressure switch

cant tell, please geta better pic or describe where exactly it is o the engine block ?

good luck

 

sorry bout the pic it was with my phone yea its the rear of the engine driverside of the block, am i going to have problems with my wiring harness wiring up to that if thats what it is?

 

Sorry, that pic isn't good enough for me to see anything. If it's an oil pressure switch, just remove it and plug the hole. Re-use the one from your 305 in the 305's location.

 

i dont evne have one on the 305 from a caprice i put in my 82

it was plugged off from factory and i left it, could not find a 45 degree fitting to make the sender clear the HEI

so i said heck with it



good luck

 

Just remove it and plug it or put a manual oil pressure gauge there.

 

what should i plug it with, also where the oil filter connects whats that called its missing from my block its just a hole there i can throw up a pic but it will probably be shiesty

 

That's the oil pressure switch, get the one for a third gen and put it in there....minus all of the extra piping or put it where the oil filter is, where the stock one goes.

 

You should take a few "good" pictures of your TBI engine now and then strip your 350 to the block and heads and put everything from your TBI engine on the 350 IN THE SAME WAY.

Your 305 should have some type of a plug in that spot so take it from your 305 and put it in your 350.

 

thanks kris but thats not even what i asked, i got if all figd out tho thanks for the help guys

 

I thought you were asking on how to get the engine into your car, sorry.

It looks the same as my 91 3.1 firebird oil pressure switch for the fuel pump, is that better? Sorry, again

Let us know how your 350 TBI turns out... next you'll want to modify your fuel pressure regulator for 15-20 psi and put some exhaust on it!!

 

i already have exhaust just swapped a BW 9 bolt and have a built 700r4, wanted to beef up the drivetrain so i can make some decent power and it still be reliable
