    350 Crate Engine

    I'm looking to replace the 305 in my 86 Trans Am with a new crate engine. Has anyone done one? What rebuild company did you use?
    3 CR500R's and counting. Do I really need 4???
    Do I really need 9 Tigers?
    Laegers ATC500R
    DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.

    I've been out of the hotrod thing for a few years and I have done this conversion before. Its not a direct change. Seems like the dipstick form a 305 to a 350 are on different sides so it causes you to need different exhaust manifold, if I remember correctly.

    I have toured the Marshall engine factory I would not buy one of there engines. I'm sure all reman engien companies do it. If a engine scored 1 cylinder they would only bore that cylinder hone the rest so your engine would have one .010 over cylinder and the rest standard, they would do the same with vavles and such. They do give good warranties that they seem to uphold really well.
    I had the RIGHT to remain silent, I didn't have the ability!

    Seems like a good deal. The motor has a hell of a torque curve too....should pull like a freight train!

    (2)1985 ATC70
    1985 Big Red 250

    About 6 years ago, I bought a crate GM Target Master 350. Bolt my accessaries on and go. Motor runs strong but I believe thats because I never just bolted it in. lol.
    Bought a big Crane cam and lifter set and a 600 Edelbrock to feed it.
    1986 ATC 250r
    1985 ATC 250r
    1985 X2 ATC 70's
    1985 XL 80

    If you have bought or sold with me please leave feedback.

    I had a 1980 Chevy pickup that someone had put a Goodwrench 350 in. The motor was great, the truck was junk.
