GMC Experts Needed..... 305 V6 Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BigBlockBurris · 03-17-2009, 06:50 AM

Hey guys,

I recently aquired a 1968 GMC 1 ton from a friend. It has a 305 V6 that runs sweet, but I have two questions.

1-How hard is it going to be to find power steering for it? I have looked around (6066 GMC board) with no luck. I have the gear box, I just need pump and brackets.

2-If the V6 ever gives trouble can I replace it with a SBC and keep the same tranny location? This is important, because the truck has a PTO dump on it, and I do not want to have to modify everything. I can change motor towers easy enough, but will it keep the same tranny location? Anybody ever swapped out a 305 V6?

Thanks in advance.
