Engine swap questions/tips
Hey people!
My 350 in my '67 C10 got a bad oil leak (copper tube to oil pressure tube snapped) and I (believe I) damaged my bearings, necessitating acquiring a new engine. I just picked up a nice looking '65 327 block that's ready to go. I'll be putting on 283 heads that I bought. I'm just looking for tips since this is my first time doing an engine swap by myself.
I am specifically looking for advice on what basic tools I'll need. Assume I have nothing, not even a $30 wrench and socket set (which is all I have). I'm borrowing a hoist, and of course I have a jack.
Also if you have any other tips with doing a swap like this, I'll be glad to hear it!
Thanks a lot,
Christian
