    Mild 350 build. Opinions? Anybody?

    Selling the torker was in the back of my mind... Really want a dual plane but the price was to good to pass up.. When I say old school look and parts I mean anything from mid 70s back. Don't really want to use vortec or billet aluminum heads. Block and heads painted gold, white intake and...

    So I'm about to start the rebuild on a 350 for the 73. The engine is a 2 bolt main 350 from a mid 70s sprint. All stock, low miles, never touched other than maintenance.

    73 C-10 eating fuel pumps alive. HELP!

    Pump turned out to be a Delphi brand. Swapped it for a new one. I changed the filters and sending unit after I put the previous pump on. The engine in it is supposedly a 305 H.O., truck came factory with a 350. I can't remember if I gave the parts store info on a 305 or 350.

    73 C-10 eating fuel pumps alive. HELP!

    Can't remember the brand. All 4 are the same. Bought from AutoZone and they do have the lifetime warranty so I can just get another one but this will make the 5th on since I've had it.

    96 subaru outback.. wife's new toy/DD

    Thanks for the info. As far as the turbo goes I'm probably gonna try and find a complete turbo engine to swap in that way I can replace all the gaskets seal etc. The car has about 240000 miles but doesn't smoke and runs great but does have a few leaks here and there, and eventually will need a...

    4 speed swap driveshaft length

    Nope the bolt patterns aren't the same... so I am going to need both front and rear driveshafts. I know the front one out of the donor truck will work but I'm not sure about the rear.

    Brush Guard / Push Bar

    I got lucky.. it was already on the suburban when I bought it. It looked pretty rough, almost all the paint had been replaced by rust.. thankfully it cleaned up nice with a wire wheel and some paint.
