350 swap pics!

Started Thursday of last week....pretty much done except for the freakin Hookers don't fit. We installed the drivers side header fine, and then tried to put the passenger side in and the flange hits the frame! WTF? So annoying! So that's pretty much all that's left to do. I might as well just buy manifolds if it's gonna be this much of a pain in the a**.

Wow, I wasn't even aware you were doing a swap. Nice job. What did you originally have, a 305? So what kind of 350 did ya swap in? Crate engine, custom built? Congrats on the swap though, hope it all runs well for ya.

i wish mine was going that quick and easy.

thats awesome

Yeah that hunk of rust and metal was a 305...lol. The 350 is a crate motor...which has gone in easier that expected.

do you know how much hp the 350 you are instaling has?

nice... glad to see, are you running another tbi setup? it looks that way to me at least... what kinda crate 350 was it? i can tell its got alluminum intake and cast iron heads but thats all i can really tell... the intake looks like a tbi one but i'm not positive

yay for first camaro forum GIRL engine swap.. im proud of you LOL

wow...way to put ford plugs in.... :)

huh?

btw WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE TOOLS DOING ON THE FRONT BUMPER????

autolite sparkplugs....made by ford.

You never do that? I always do that when I work on the Camaro or any car infact, just put em where the hood kinda goes. also the headlights space hold a nice amount of stuff so its convinient..

yeah I agree... why wouldn't you put tools there?

yep, i always put tools there....lose a few now and then but no biggie

that's what that space is there for.

i remember seeing a link to that 350 thats being put in...if thats the one in the link that was posted some time back...it was running like 8.5 or 9:1 compression.....perfect for a small supercharger lol

SG, you didn't forget to put a 350 ecm, knock sensor, and icm in did you?

With any luck my car will look like that by this summer (at least under the hood anyway) Congrats on the new engine!

Congrats SG. Its looking good.

i never put my tools anywhere on the car... wouldn't want to scratch it

I tend to leave my tools by the hood latch and I have dropped sockets and bits pretty much in every hard to fish out spot you can imagine near the engine bay.

310 hp. Yeah it's still TBI. (Less of a hassle for inspection) And your damn right those are tools up there...where the hell else am I gonna put them?!? Ah, you can keep those Ford comments....they work, don't they?!?

im just playin....I have autolites in mine....hahaha

Same for me..

Vanillaroma air freshener? Nice.

Vanillaroma air freshener? Nice.
