I have the opportunity to pick up an 86 G10 4wd long bed. It needs a couple things, nothing I can't handle after what I just went through on my 74 build.
I want something suitable for daily driver use but would likely only be used for weekends hauling the boat or normal truck duties.
The truck currently has a 305/700 combo. I like the overdrive.
I like the TBI system
I dislike the 305.
How hard is it to upgrade the TBI to support a mild 350 build?
I'd build another engine very similar to what I built for my 74.
350 roller motor
.030 over
Mild cam... Probably in the 204int 212ex mid .450 lift range on a 116
Possibly set of small chamber 305ho heads.
Headers.
This combo works really well for good driveability in a truck. Combined with over drive it would make a very nice driver.
Is this doable while retaining the TBI?
I assume I will need to swap injectors and proms. Anything else?
