Hey guys I'm going to be swapping out my 305 for a 350 and just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.. You know the small stuff. I will be putting in a 1971 350 with an Edelbrock Torker II intake matched to a holley 650 carb with mechanical secondaries. Engine came with an HEI Distributor as well.
Now I have a list with some things I will have to buy for the swap and they include :
Motor mounts
Torque Converter
Water Pump
Fuel Pump
TV Cable bracket
My only concerns were some of the fittings really.. I'm guessing I'm going to have to buy some type fuel line Kit to hook up for the holley carb? What about the metal brake booster vacuum line? Will the factory battery/tach plugs match to the HEI Distrubor? I also noticed the thermostat housing has a plug on it.. Is that the sensor for the temp gauge? My new house doesn't have a hole for that. Lastly but not least, just above where the oil filter goes I see a small screw with a square screw fitting (not a Phillips or flathead just a square screwdriver bore) - is this for the oil pressure?
