A little help
I was am going to overhaul my 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans am it has a CSB 305 with a 4 bbl i was wondering if anyone had some do's and don'ts for me. I was thinking of either rebuilding the current motor or droping a 350. Well if anyone has any advice you know what to do thanks.8)

ok even tho their is very little to the computer would i need anything for the conversion
and wouldn't i need to upgrade the radiatior and im thinking of converting it from and auto to a 5 speed (and i know it's going to be hard but it a project not a driving car) |
if you go to a straight carb, youll also need a new distributor with a vac. advance. The electronic carb/ecm setup currently in your car uses the carb and stock distributor together to make adjustments, without one part, the other is useless or impaired.

+1 You probably just jinxed yourself. :lol:

yeah, I will let you know how my "luck" holds out.... :lol:

if it comes down to buying vs rebuilding an engine, go with a GMPP crate motor. for the costs of rebuilding an engine reliably at a machine shop that often only gives you a very short and limited warranty if any at all, you can get a bullet made with all brand new parts and a 3yr/36k mile warranty.
it also invovles way less down time since a lot of the crate motors you will just need to hook up a few things to get running. the only way "building" a motor is really worth it is if you are going for something all out and need to pick and choose parts yourself. |
and if you want the best deals on GM crate engines... PM me, hehe

ive got just over 300tq on my t5...nothing bad yet...would like a t56 though so it really doesnt matter if mine blows up. but def. get a 350. 305's are just a waste of time IMO.
