1990 rs
1990 rs
I have a 1990 rs, 305tbi 5 speed blah blah blah. I want to buy a 350 (preferably a vortec series) and rebuild it to slap into the car. My questions are:
-My trans will be fine right? I only want a mild cam and some small headwork on the 350.
-What years will not be a direct bolt in to the transmission?

The tranny will be fine as long as you don't do high-RPM clutch dumps or try to speed shift it.
The engine needs to be the Gen I type block, not the Gen III LSx-type Vortec. The light trucks went to Gen III in 2000.

Those appear to be flat tappet cams, not roller lifters.
