Arg I went today and pulled the driveshaft getting ready to remove the motor and tranny and what do i find? My damn transmission pan has a crack in it. I swear to god if it aint one damn thing its two. Anyone got a reasonably price th350 they wanna get rid of lol?

 

ok been a long time coming but here are some pics.

Old motor starting to come out.

New motor "ZZ4 Crate 350 v8"

And the walk arounds.

 

can anyone tell me if the exhaust manifolds for the 307 and 350 are interchangable

 

Ok guys i need some serious help here. So i bolted my new 350 and tranny together and went to bolt the torque converter to the flex plate. There is a nice 1 inch gap between the converter and flexplate and before anyone asks yes im using the right flex plate and yes its in the right way. any suggestions?

 

pics of what you are talking about? the only "gaps" i am familiar with are where the holes are spaced differently from the converter.

 

ok after much research i found out the the newer 350 blocks require a crank pilot spacer to be able to mate up to an original th350 and torque converter because the neck on the torque converter is too short to mate up to the crank hole in the back of the engine "sorry for poor explination" so basically i have to get a spacer to bring my flex plate out about an inch and then im golden good thing is the part is cheap like 3 bucks from jegs.

 

man i swear i just run into one problem after another so now i got the tranny and engine together got the torque converter bolted in everythings mounted but now i have to install a new electric fuel pump because even though the block is bosed with the opening for a mechanical pump the pushrod wont go into the block. come to find out the genius that designed this motor put the boss there but didnt allow for the plumbing. oh well i purchased a new holley red electric fuel pump and have started installing it hopefully i should have it up and running within the next week and have pics and possibly a vid up. WISH ME LUCK!

 

dont forget to install a fuel pressure regulator when you install the pump. And where are you going to install the pump?

 

i mounted the pump towards the back of the firewall so that i didnt have to run 2 miles of wires to get to a constant power wire. and i have the regulator my buddy threw it in for free with the new pump.

 

what you got planned for rims?
