Swapping a GM crate 350HO into an 86 MonteCarlo SS.....
Swapping a GM crate 350HO into an 86 MonteCarlo SS.....
I am pretty sure that the block will fit but I need to know since the GM Performance Parts 350HO has the Vortec heads will the stock intake and exhaust manifolds bolt up? It has the Q-Jet computer controled carb, what intake can I use that has all the ports for the sensors and that Q-Jet will fit on? Also does this engine have the port above the oil filter for the oil pressure sender? Will the flex plate for the TH2004R bolt up? What else am I missing? Also does anyone know where I can get this engine cheap since I have not bought it yet? Is it a good choice or is there something better that costs about the same? I am NOT getting the deluxe, just the basic engine.....will the harmonic balencer from the 305 work with the 350, how about the distributor, do I need to replace the gear to a bronze one? Do these engines come with the pushrod hole for the mechanical fuel pump? Is the L69 a 1 or 2 piece rear main seal?
Thanks for the help!!!

Well you will need a Vortech Intake (performer or RPM will do) you will also need Vortech Intake bolts ( I found this out first hand) Everything else will be the same. I have just done the Vortech head swap on my 89 Camaro if you need any help drop me an E-Mail
