Hello All,
I am now ready to start motor work on my 1984 ELKY. According to the research I have done on this site the shape of the tranny pan indicates that I have a TH350. Will that tranny work with a mild big block motor or only with a small block?
I know a 350 sbc will drop right in but besides heavier coil springs, what needs to be swapped to make a big block fit?
I know I can get a new 350 $1499. I see 454 big blocks out of trucks for sale in Los Angeles for $750.00 tested for compression and supposedly from vehicles with less than 60 k miles.
Also, would my quadrajet carb from the stock 305 work with a big block?
Never done this before and need answers.
