Nice! Post pics when it comes! What are the specs?

lanconcj · 10-04-2011, 09:19 PM

This universal 350 ci engine uses a brand new block and can be used as a replacement for most GM vehicles from 1973-85. It produces 260 HP and 350 ft/lbs of torque with a 4-bbl carb and headers. It can be used as a replacement or as a retrofit into almost any vehicle. This brand new 350 crate engine comes with a GM warranty and is covered for 3 years or 100,000 miles in applicable GM vehicles only.

350 Engine Specifications

4-bolt main with 2-piece rear main seal
Cast iron crankshaft
LT1/LT4 powdered metal connecting rods
Cast pistons (dished)
Hydraulic flat tappet cam (.383''/.401'' and 112° lobe separation)
Cast iron cylinder heads with 76cc chambers
8.5:1 compression ratio
Block is compatible with left or right side oil dipstick (Requires Plug for Unused Side - Plugs are Included)
4-quart oil pan
Timing tabs for a 6-3/4'' or an 8'' balancer
Recommended spark plug: Accel #111-574 or any spark plug with 14mm .460'' reach, 5/8'' hex, tapered seat, projected tip.

I will post pictures. I would like to do a build thread but I am not very organized.

nice. Do you have any plans to dress it up before install?

lanconcj · 10-04-2011, 10:09 PM

This truck will be completely stock. My next one, however, will be completely geeked out.

y5mgisi · 10-04-2011, 10:10 PM

Drool! Who did you order it threw?

WarBeard · 10-04-2011, 10:19 PM

Seems funny to me that they recommend Accel Spark plugs and not Delco?

lanconcj · 10-04-2011, 10:30 PM

I don't know if I can say it on the post, but I bought it through a place that starts with J and rhymes with "eggs". Best deal out there.

lanconcj · 10-04-2011, 10:31 PM

I will be using delco plugs.

lanconcj · 10-05-2011, 12:21 PM

The delivery guy came early!

lanconcj · 10-05-2011, 12:22 PM

Ok, so the date on my camera needs adjusting. I will get to that after the truck is back on the road.

overloaded · 10-05-2011, 01:37 PM

niiiice....truck looks clean too.

If I lived in TX I'd probably have a fleet of them.

Does GM provide any break in guidelines?

85silverbeast · 10-05-2011, 05:52 PM

What did the engine & shipping cost you? If you don't mind me asking.

can't beat that with a stick.

lanconcj · 10-05-2011, 08:04 PM

I started night shift tuesday night. I couldn't sleep when I got home because I knew the motor was coming. Once I took delivery, I couldn't sleep because I wanted to work on the truck. Now I am at work and really sleepy.

That sucks but i'd do the exact same thing! lol

81 C10AZ · 10-05-2011, 11:25 PM

Sweet! Looking to do the same in the next few months!

Smells like a build log!

lanconcj · 10-05-2011, 11:32 PM

I get a lot of motivation from other people's build logs. I have gathered some of my pictures tying to put something together. It may be boring but I want to try.
