i have an 86 t/a with the TPI 305 it has given me so much trouble and im getting so annoyed. What all would i have to do to drop in a 350 carbureted motor? Complete motor not changing TPI to carb changing out intire motor?

 

It would be the changing from TPI to carb part, plus changing the engine part.

Of course, that should be obvious. So, what exactly are you asking? Are you asking how to change an engine?

 

No, i have done engine swaps before but i have heard about the tranny needing to have something done also? Will it bolt up fine and run or not?

 

A 305 and a 350 of the same year type (i.e., '79-earlier, '80-'85, or '86-later) are externally entirely identical. The way small block Chevys bolt to the transmission has not changed since 1955. Even the big block Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern is the same as the 265, 283, 327, 302, 350, 307, 305, 262, etc.

There may have been some differences between minor details such as the governor shift speed, but there is no difference in the way they bolt up.

 

People have said something about the torque converted lock up or somethin like that do you know what they are talking about?

 

i did a 305 to a 350 swap. the 350 came out of a 1994 silverado. i want to put headers on the car. will they fit?
