89 Formula engine swap?
 
Hey guys, just got into my first fb (3rd gen) formula with a stock 305 v8. This is my winter project and trying to get any indea's on what type of engine would be a good awap for this car? I have been told that a Dyno 350/290 hp engine part#12499529 would be a good but any others input?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
thanks
Dave

i briefly owned an 89 formula with that engine.... my camaro also has that engine and ive been lookin thru some of the engines summit racing carries... take a peek there for ideas, some are new and some are remanufactured

I would just get a 350 block and build a TPI/or Carb setup.

If you need any TPI stuff, let me know! I got TONS OF IT!

Build a vortec 383. Best bang for your buck.

thanks guys for all the ideas...will be checking Summit for some engines...I reallly dont want to put any money in this engine since I know I want something better..

And of you swap over to TPI you dont need to swap he engine harness at all either. You can mod your exsisting one in about two -three hours for the 90-92 SD ecm.
