WTB: 305-350 Block or car under 1000$!

[ChevyGuyLuke]

My engine is knocking and its about time to do an engine swap.

- Will take 305, but 350 is prefered
-Or car under 1000$

Camaro is hurting but i cant stand to get rid of it, so i must fix it.

305 tpi motor, long block, $400

[ChevyGuyLuke]

My car is Carb....how tough is it to go from Carb to TPI!

[turbosonoma]

oh yeah your car is also and 85, head bolt pattern is different.

actually you might want to consider the engine 305 or 350 from Turbo, cause it is roller (more expensive) but also a better design, you can get an intake manifold and a flywheel and then plug in your carb and your good to go, much better then your current engine. Parts are more expensive (cam so on) but roller is much more efficient, plus you'll be almost ready to go for TPI if you want to switch.

Or if you can hold out I can sell you my 305 which is most likely EXACTLY the same as your but it's not coming out for another month or so. LG4 with 150K km on it.

But my choice if I needed a new engine would be to grab the roller 305 from Turbo and port/polish the heads and grab an intake manifold and go.

[ChevyGuyLuke]

so your saying i can pull off the injector unit and replace it with a intake mani....and everything should be ok??

[Drakar]

yup http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=WND%2D8024 here is just an example but all the major players have a manifold or two that will work.

slap that mani on and get a flywheelfor a 1 piece and you use your dist and carb should be all good.

plus youll have a serpentine setup if Turbo is adding that in for extra $$$ or included?

might be one or two other things I missed but they will be cheap (Fans come to mind)

Nice bonus is the cam is alittle better (better then LG4, same as L69 or so)

[ChevyGuyLuke]

Ok turbo. What are the KM's on the motor?
-Where did the motor come from
-Is it put together....i.e. water pump, crank, headers
-You said the headbolt pattern is different?
-Got any pics?

Just some questions.....i hate not having a car to drive :(
