Yesterday my son's engine started making noise. Did not want to idle. Stuck on the side of the road I had to go tow bar him to his catering job and back home.
I heard metallic sound for a second then the engine stalled/stopped running. Not seized. No time to check out the engine for he was booked to cater a party for a sailing club.
Now I have yet to go outside this morning to check out the truck. Though talking with my son last night he felt that if his engine needed a rebuild he may just as well as go for a 350 Target Motor.
I told him most likely the original trans will not bolt up to the 350 so he would have to go with a new transmission as well.
So what's involved?
2 bolt main good
4 bolt over kill
base target motor 195 hp seems more than adequate
Points or early GM electronic ign/pre computer
2 barrel carb
Trans options
Auto: which 4 spd OD any other one's?
Manual: ?
All the steps involved in getting the job done?
