I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not but what the hell I'll ask it anyways. I ran the casting numbers on the intake manifold and it showed for a 305? Should this be enough evidence to say its a 305 or should I still get the casting number off the block to see if its a 350?

 

The manifold could bolt directly onto either a 305 or a 350. Only way to be sure is check the casting number on the block.

 

check the block, if you reall wanna make sure tear it apart and measure the bore. but the casting number on the block will do you fine, if you know of a place that you can get info on the number

 

Yea I'm gonna have to quit being a panzy and just yank the distributor out. Only way to get to it. I think I'm gonna yank the whole engine out. It needs some work done haha

 

i wouldnt yank it out if you just had to replace a rod or something small, but if your planning on rebuilding or swapping the whole engine then yanking it out would be ideal

 

Replacing the intake manifold and carb. I don't need to yank it for that but they really put the engine in and made it look really really bad. I can't stand it to tell you the truth haha

 

the prior owner swapped in a diff engine? and he did a bad job? have fun with that, i hope they didnt hack off wires for you to figure out and everything. dealing with other peoples prior messes just isnt close to being wonderful

 

Prior owner swapped. They did a bad half *** job of putting it in. I just wanna clean it up. It runs good and strong, just needs some TLC
