Engine swap

89FIVEpoint0lx · May 17th, 2009, 08:45 PM

Alright was thinking about picking up a rebuilt and bored .030 over 350... was wondering what i would have to do from start to finish that would be extra. What i mean by this is will the stock alternator etc. be able to run on the 350... or will i have to fabricate and purchase new items. Lmk thanks. Also any links to engine swap threads/sites would be appreciated.

350 chevy motor?

White Thunder · May 17th, 2009, 08:49 PM

not worth it...find a windsor...

89FIVEpoint0lx · May 17th, 2009, 08:49 PM

haha yea i know.. chevy in a ford but i found one pretty cheap. Don't worry will prbably end up doing a 351w swap but for now the 350 is in mind. I just want to know what ill have to buy to get everything set up correctly... or can i just bolt in the new engine with minor parts replacement and be fine?

How about some more details? Sounds like a useless swap to me. A stock 5 liter HO will out run most Chevy 350s.

plus the dizzy is in the front...!!!!

89FIVEpoint0lx · May 17th, 2009, 08:53 PM

alright then lets focus on the 351w...

HMUSN · May 17th, 2009, 08:53 PM

Don't get me wrong.. if it flies, it flies, regardless of whats making it do so, but I don't think a basic 350 swap is worth it.

Like Dar.. 1 slow 5.0 said.. it can be outrun by a 302 motor which you can pick up for $400 at a junkyard.

White Thunder · May 17th, 2009, 08:54 PM

what do you have...do you already have a 5.0

89FIVEpoint0lx · May 17th, 2009, 08:55 PM

Dont have the car yet but im getting an 89 5.0 lx.

HMUSN · May 17th, 2009, 08:56 PM

nothing wrong with that motor.

89FIVEpoint0lx · May 17th, 2009, 09:01 PM

i know this- im thinking ahead... so that way if its an easy swap with only minor parts to be bought when i see a cheap rebuilt 351w i can jump on it. Otherwise im just doing the normal things.. tune up, exhaust, gt40 heads and headers, maybe a stereo and rims/tires if needed. but any suggestions as to order to do these things in etc. lmk. Or better ideas on some hp increasing parts lmk.

Chris951 · May 17th, 2009, 09:25 PM

351 ftw. don't waste ur time on a 350 chev. but like you said, for now you can build up the 302 a little and get some pep.

White Thunder · May 17th, 2009, 09:28 PM

347

HMUSN · May 17th, 2009, 09:29 PM

phs.. 408 and spray.

89FIVEpoint0lx · May 17th, 2009, 09:34 PM

would it not cost mre to buy a 347 stroker kit then to buy a rebuilt 351w lol. I can get a 351w rebuilt for around $800 everything included.

Chris951 · May 17th, 2009, 09:36 PM

Idk I'd rather have a fresh rebuilt 351 instead of a 347.

superbean · May 17th, 2009, 10:01 PM
