Hi Bill & Aaron
I'm putting my old 350 in my 83-760 sedan,the wifes is the 740 wagon,
The 350 is only mild,9.5:1, flat tops,2nd step RV cam,pink rods
30 over,performer rpm intake,700 Holley pro-jection system.I built
this engine for my 3/4 chev,I'm tired of driving a truck,and Volvos
are So! comfortable.I gave the truck a buddy,minus the engine.
I started this at the end of Oct,just on the week-ends.
I've had to change the engine componets for clearance,Morosso oil pan
from a vega,performer intake. I'm making the mounts in the next few
days. I understand that the diesel rad sould cool this engine,after
looking at a 302 install on the web.Only 150lbs increase in weight,
the car sits well( I had the engine in the hole siting on the cross-
member)I can use the factory rear cross-member for the tranny mount.
The car sits at work,10feet from my tool box,while I was waiting for
my oil pan,I wired almost everything,installed a battery box in the
boot, ran 1/o gauge to the engine room,made the harness for the engine
that part was easy.Install a IPD dash cover. Cleaned up the leather.
mounted 150 watt driving lights in the air dam(there from my truck).
MY oil pan is here, so theres work to be done.
