350 swap (questions) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Army_Dude · 03-07-2006, 10:04 PM

As some of you know, I recently picked up a 48 Ford Pickup with a new (less than 400 miles) Goodwrench crate motor. The truck is going to need some work and I've decided to do it right and not rush through it just to get it on the road.

I am SERIOUSLY considering swapping the motor into my 85 Silverado. But before I turn one wrench, I want to know just whay all this is going to take. I've heard some talk about the swaps but never paid it much attention. SO... any help from you guys who have done this is greatly appreciated. Any things I'll need to pick up or change out . like they say experience is the best teacher. I want to learn from your experiences. Thanks in advance. Oh BTW, current motor is the stock 305. Tranny is TH350.
