Corvette 350 into C10

[Luke87gt]

Hi guys,

I’ve been casually browsing local 350 engines on marketplace.

I’d like to understand what it takes to make a 350 (from a late 60s/early 70s corvette) work in my 1969 c10.

I see that the alternator is on the passenger side. Would I be able to keep the Corvette accessories as is? Also, I understand that the headers would need to change obviously. I think the radiator hoses may need to be changed.

I know that my existing clutch/TOTT would swap right over.

Is there any other major changes that I’d need to consider? Thank you.

You will need to locate the rare Corvette/ C/10 fender call outs. Just funnin ! Most 350 stuff is interchangeable. I would find some good rams horns in place of headers myself..good luck and we like pictures…

Buyer beware!
Some of those corvette 350’s turn out to be 267’s.

Ask for pictures of the block casting number, the stamp pad, and the date code. Let's see what this really is.

Absolutely true.
I have been a Corvette owner for over 50 years. I still own the first one I purchased. I would guess 95% of the ads for Corvette motors are bogus. Owners see the same casting number and assume that makes them "Corvette". Nothing is further from the truth. Be careful out there.

In general, the short water pump Corvette motors will fit without a lot of work.
The long water pump Vette motor has issues with fan clearances and lower radiator hoses.

Cheers

Here is another shot

How can I be sure it’s a 350?
