    305 to 454 Engine Swap?

    I will keep that in mind. I'll ask the tbi chip programmer if that is a possible way to go, and what involved.

    305 to 454 Engine Swap?

    @Velder , mine has TH400, no overdrive but it is a 3/4 ton. Read 6L80e would have the overdrive. So something to look at besides 700r.

    305 to 454 Engine Swap?

    What trans is in the burb? Any purchase of a rebuilt gonna be pricey. I'd probably install the trans with 454. Rebuild trans when the time comes or take to good shop and do it now. They'll rebuild what's necessary. But, then you're still looking at cost of rebuilt trans...

    Exhaust Manifolds hot?

    Well, thinking if I'm fixing all that leaky oil, we're gonna have to pull timing chain cover. So, at that point I'm gonna just have to pray about it cause might as well pull engine and rebuild. 1) Pull passenger head to tap two bolts, or 2) Pull heads and remanufacture. Or 3) You're almost...

    Exhaust Manifolds hot?

    Whew, not an easy engine to work on. Had two wire hold down clamps on front of engine, one for starter and the other behind power steering pump for couple doo-hickies down there. AC moved aside, bolts cleaned polished ready to reinstall. Removing coolant to tbi adapter which should be empty...

    Exhaust Manifolds hot?

    Thank you guys. I will know more with intake removed and then head. With the TBI the gas pressure regulator isn't adjustable. Haven't had long enough to know if oil burner, nothing noticeable out exhaust but that's not necessarily an indicator.

    Exhaust Manifolds hot?

    Pulled and replacing, they are original, but... ? Does drivers piston one, and passenger side pistons four and six look like they are burning hot or something? Thought I would ask those who know, or if I should even be concerned. Currently pulling at least passenger head because very front and...

    Intake Manifold Install

    Cool, I did some you tubing. I have both fly wheel tool and bump starter I used on my boat. It has been awhile since I have rebuilt anything at 15 other than fixing/replacing a lot of stuff. It has a TBI distributor which is very new. Cool set-up for my daughter.

    Intake Manifold Install

    How do we move engine to TDC or line up on firewall? Put in neutral and then move fly wheel? I'm looking at replacing my intake with Edelbrock.
