So here's "My 350 Swap Take-Two". If you have a legitimate question feel free to comment and I love to hear the support and I love criticism but if you're just on here to troll or trash my thread please find something else to do. I am doing this swap LEGALLY by applying for an ASSEMBLED title. And IF for some reason I can't make it legal to drive on public roads. It will be a toy/absolutely have to drive because of the weather. A foot of snow cripples us here in Bama. Just never prepared for snow. No plows. No salt. Nothing Lol. I have a 2008 Ford Focus that is fun to drive but can't get through snow haha. The 350 has 307 heads with bigger valves and stronger springs. Polished and drilled crank. And a cam with a little bit bigger lift and the duration of being is closed is much smaller. Very torque-y and high reving. Corvette Manifolds(ordered). Standard quadrajet carb. Will be replaced by an Edlebrock 650cfm once my friend gives it to me.
Here's the progress so far:
Pulling the stock motor, trans, and tcase. With a tree because I'm 19 years old and don't have a shop or cherry picker. That doesn't make me or my build trash. Or other people in Alabama. Because I didn't come up with this idea on my own. We do that a lot down here.
Pulling the jeep to the shop. We also pull vehicles like this all the time. With a 10,000 lb chain and 6000 lb pull rope. It was safe. I brake for the truck pulling me. Sorry that once again I'm 19 years old and don't have a car sized trailer.
Getting everything off of the C10 that I needed.
The adapter I needed from Advance Adapters.
Painted and on the 350 Turbo.
Had to buy a fuel pump for a 74 so the lines would come out the front of the motor instead of to the side.
Motor mounts I needed.
Oil filter relocater so I can change my oil without having to remove the driveshaft.
The 350 in the Jeep
Torch Time!
Mounts, were going to weld metal stock on top of the cradle mounts and then a bolt will hold it on each side going straight up through the racing style mounts.
We are mounting the cross member upside down and going to drill two holes in it to mount the transmission.
Heres just some more pics of the mounts, the clearance, and oil filter so you understand why I have to move the filter.
My buddy gave me the speedometer that I wanted for some old wheels. And I also have the fuel gauge that I need. And I've already got the oil, volts, and temp in the a pillar
My dad is going to buy the exhaust manifolds as an early Christmas present:head3:
So there's $185 I dont have to spend and I called today to my local driveshaft and exhaust shop. About $250 for driveshaft front and rear and about $150 For the exhaust work. Not bad prices :cheers:
I was expecting to get bent over pretty bad lol
I just went shopping at auto zone and came back $60 poorer with a tach and speedometer cable lol the tach is a little bit bigger than the speedometer that I bought already. But I dont care lol. Now I just have one more gauge to buy... An ammeter
Here is how my swap is going so far money wise. I've been keeping track of what I've bought and what I need in Google Drive on my phone and on my tablet.
Thanks for viewing!
