    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    I have now got the truck running and going through the struggles of tuning now but it took me longer than I was hoping to get to this point so my plan is to run the one tank for now (hoping to drive the truck once or twice before the roads are salted) and will mess with the other one in the...

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    Ya I’m actually not sure if mine works or not as I only drove it a few times before doing the swap so will leave it for now. What’s your brake booster situation? I don’t see any traditional brake booster like the gas trucks came with.

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    I think it’s because it was originally a diesel, seems to have twice as much **** when it comes to wires and stuff

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    Ya there is a lot alike, what’s your opinion on what to do with the cruise control vacuum lines, is it possible to make that one line and run it to the carb?

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    Yes it is a steel line up until the top of the passenger valve cover and I was going to run rubber hose from there to the intake if that seems alright?

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    Hey guys, just finishing my olds diesel to sbc 350 in my 1981 sierra and I noticed two vacuum lines that I’m not sure where they need to go. I’m assuming the small trans line goes to the manifold port on the back of the intake and thought these went to the carb but there’s two lines so not sure...

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    Yes they are definitely pretty rare now, partially why I bought it as it was a little different than all the other squares out there, and the body is basically perfect. I’m 100 percent leaving on the diesel badges bc I like how they are unique.

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    I did look into this before my swap although this motor swap already has me in over my head as I don’t have anyone to really help so it’s all what I can find on the internet. Would’ve been sweet to do it though.

    transmission/oil cooler lines

    The truck is a 81, I think I forgot to mention that it has a stand alone cooler (that has 4 ports). Yes I did end up keeping the mounts as someone offered me $100 for them, is that a alright price for them?

    transmission/oil cooler lines

    I would but my radiator doesn’t have any ports for the transmission cooler

    transmission/oil cooler lines

    I am not sure if it is a factory cooler but if I had to guess I would say yes, I believe the two extra ports used to run to an oil cooler at the oil filter. I would prefer to not have to buy a new radiator if possible. My heater core lines currently run through the rad if that helps and all...

    transmission/oil cooler lines

    Hey guys, Im finishing up a Oldsmobile 5.7 diesel to Sbc swap and noticed my transmission cooler has 4 ports. I'm hoping to start it up this week in hopes of getting it on the road for a bit before winter and want to know what I should do with it. I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff and...

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    That’s hilarious mine is a loaded sierra grande with all the same options, I only bought mine due to how unique it was and the body was immaculate knowing the how bad the motors could be but was still worth the price I got it for

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    Thanks! Where abouts are you located, don’t see many 5.7 diesels left. Mine was actually made that the Oshawa Ontario plant a few minutes from where I live. I’ve yet to see another one so far (just curious where you saw it)

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    I would’ve loved to drop a 455 in there but I couldn’t find one and it is my daily driver so needed something quick and found a deal on a sweet sbc that I couldn’t turn down, are you saying cap the two ports going to the passenger tank on the selector valve for now?

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    Ok thanks for the help, it is a 6 port and I was also confused as the photos I looked up did not look like mine, might be a Oldsmobile thing

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    Do you think If I were to drain passenger tank to the best of my ability and fill it up with gas it would be fine to run the two tanks? I have blown out all the lines from the driver side tank to the fuel pump as they were already new

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    I’m not totally set on running one tank forever but I think for now to get it on the road as it will be my daily driver I just want one. There’s still some diesel in the other tank so just don’t want any problems for the start up and for the month I might get to drive it, thanks

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    thanks for the help, so am I just disconnecting the two lines running the the passenger tank or plugging them? And it’s these back line in the photo right?
