Re: Need pics please Gotcha. I'm not sure I'd worry about it though just as long as it's bolted on and not interfering with anything, or maybe you wouldn't know yet if the engine's out of the car? |

Re: Need pics please also this engine came out of a 79 el camino, Which side does the temp sensor go on the head and also what side for the fan switch? My old 305 had a sensor on each side of the heads, but these sensors will not fit as the holes are a bit larger on this 350 engine, any suggestion as to what size I ask for at a parts store? Thanks |
Re: Need pics please The lift bracket goes under the rearmost intake manifold bolt on the pass side. The chain hole goes toward the valve cover. Older heads have ½" NPT holes; newer ones have 3/8" NPT holes. All you need is a couple of brass ½"-3/8" NPT bushings from your local plumbing supply, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.; and then use the stock sensors and stuff for your car. I know for sure that HD and Lowe's both have them hanging in plastic bags in their wall of brass fittings. |

I just gonna buy new ones as I'am not sure which is which they almost look the same specially since the plastic is broken where they plug into at! |
Re: Need pics please just gonna buy new ones |
Re: Need pics please Yea, the sensors need to match the CAR, ie. the gauges or ECM, not the engine thread size. So you'll still need the bushing. |

Re: Need pics please Thanks supervisor42 thats exactly what I was looking for. Also That oil pressure gauge you have on yours is exactly the one that came off my 305 engine, I was thinking if I should reuse it or get the smaller one? Man you guys don't know how much help you guys have been giving me thru this swap, I'am almost there I can see the end of the light creeping up! And the bottom of this kids wallet I'am doing this for! :-) |
