Congrats on the motor. I'm doing the same thing. Putting in a 305 while the 350 gets built. Mario

Re: new engine in K5
Help me remember, was this a basic rebuild or did you hop it up some? Congrats on getting it in and running.
Sure makes it easy to do with the front clip off.

Re: new engine in K5
Hoped up a little Yukon. I had the block cleaned and honed and the crank had to be turned 10/20. I went with the Ram Jet cam that racinjason put me on. I cleaned and reused the internals. New aluminum intake and a Holly Truck Avenger 670cfm carb. Headers. 3 inch pipes and 40 series Flowmasters. I stabbed the old HEI with new wires.
I am planning on pulling the the dizy this weekend and replacing the gear with the softer one that is used with the vortecs. I am hopping that will finish the tune for me. Here is the other thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=247205 Oh yeah. removing the front clip is a must. ![]()
