Andrew you will probably have to use an elecrtic pump depending on how you mount the alternator and water pump. BTW very nice find on the engine. And if you do use a electric pump put it up front.

Ok, First off, the pistons are standard GM pistons, the cross hatching on the cylinders tells me it has been bored at least once, but not worn much since, the black on teh camshaft tells me that it doesnt have that many miles on it40 to 50k, the block is for sure a factory 4 bolt main block so it is a 350, the numbers you were referring to mean the engine was made in 4 of 83, what year car did you say it was in? If you give me the number stamped on the front pad on the block in front of the head and behind the alternator, I can tell you what the engine was originally installed in and with what options ie: HP rating, transmission, with or without A/C and so on. Also give me the casting number off the head and I can see what that is also. If they are 305 heads, you got lucky, they have the smaller chambers for higher compression, mine are 55cc, stock they run 58cc. Mine have been modified with larger valves which made the chambers smaller. Anything I can do to help you get it up ad going, let me know.

Scott

Oh BTW, I worked for Chevrolet back in the 70's as an automatic transmission line mechanic.

Here is the fuel pump I am going to install. It was graciously donated by a club member. You cant run the stock fuel pump with the water pump or alternator mounted the way Renegade does.

Andyrew,

Tell us how you are mounting the water pump and the alternator, then we can tell you why or why not you can run a stock fuel pump.

I will find out today what those numbers mean and post them for you. The mounts I am sending you mount it off to the side both the alternator and the water pump, it will block where the fuel pump mounts. Trust me, I tried everything to make it not and there is just no way.

Good luck with your project.

If you have to go with a different crank might step up to a 400 crank and build a 383. Or step down to a 327 crank. I might be able to hook you up with a set of TRW Forged 11.0:1 327 pistons for pennies. Replace the cam with something with a little more hit. Call up Summit and snag a cam with some balls and really scare the neighbors.

With a little time and a little extra money you can really make a sweet motor. Might try and find a set of aluminum heads on ebay or at a local machine shop for cheap too.

Scott, I assume you are aware that the fuel pump you have will be loud as hell? We ran a few of those on race cars and they are noisy. You may have to fab some sort of isolator to cut the noise. When my Holley blue was mounted in the trunk I could hear the pump over then engine at idle.

Mental note for myself, The rip on the left is the back of the engine. the right is the front of the engine.

Got scotts parts today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Funny, the UPS guy comes out and has a clamp in his hand, asks if it goes with our stuff, Dad notices that its a clamp, says maybe, but tells him he can keep it.

Scott, I got everything you listed in the box.
I will list them, and if anything is missing, let me know and I'll call ups. The box was pretty ratty when I got it, but the parts where fine. Im sure the guys moving the box figured it was like 10 lbs, but then lifted it and it was Woops 50...
Lol, Everything looks good though, I'll get some pics.

Thanks Scott!

Andrew

(now Steve... OUT of curiosity, how far are you? I still have to rebuild my engine, so I have a while..)

Scott, let me know if there is any major parts missing here, a couple of clamps I dont care about.

Also Scott, did you find out any details about that engine?

Thanks

Andrew
