That truck is in such nice shape for an original truck, wish they were easy to come by in that condition. Make sure he puts the ac back together lol. It's so worth it once u get the ac working you will never want to get rid of it and it's not that expensive or hard to do. I had rebuilt the whole ac system in my c10 and bought everything brand new and it was under $1000 and if you only fix what's wrong you can do it much cheaper.
Doing the same with my fathers 83 with his 305 soon. My dad passed away 4 months ago… it has a miss fire, it’s hard to replace it but it’s gotta be done. Amazing work!
Hey man nice work !!! I have a 1993 Chevy caprice 5.0 motor and want to swap it out for the 1994 Chevy caprice motor that has the 5.7 motor ... do you know if I would have to change anything else besides the motor ?
Leave the trans in, it's much easier to just take the motor itself out and then u dont have to spill 3 gallons of atf on the ground lol. Cant wait to see the next video on this truck, that little vortec motor should light the tires right up.
Ever messes with the 4.3l v6s have you ever carbureted one I have heard an auto light 2100 carb would work to feed it fuel that 305 would make a nice boat anchor what kinda carb was on it.
Well it depends on what intake manifold a square bore or a spread bore you would want a spread bore preferably but they make an adapter to go from one to the other that works fairly well I've used before w no issues but a regular Holley or Edelbrock carb is a square bore and a q jet is a spread bore carb the bigger secondaries are the difference a q jet because it has small primaries gets better gas mileage and will run practically anything the secondaries only open as much as the engine vacuum can open them thus only feeding the engine what it needs and not any more than that that's the beauty of them and the reason they were able to use them on everything and only made a 750 and 800 cfms and they came on v6s to big blocks Cadillacs Pontiacs all of them w hardly much a change only the idle circuits
@@chevylandt.v the 305 engines were very reliable and you can find low mileage ones for cheap because no one wants them. I will admit that they are very gutless and weak but for a daily driver build they are perfect and 305s rarely overheat and almost never crack heads like the 350s and 400s do.
The 305 is not bad at all they have enough torque to break the tires loose and if you build one it can perform decent the issue is the small bore size and the factory heads they were practically idiot proof the heads wouldn't flow enough air to let it over rev and blow up even if you put it in neutral and floor it lol as dependable as any other sbc maybe more I've had several over the yrs the last one was a 40 over bore jasper motor I put a mild cam a little head work a weiand dual plane intake and a q jet with a good hot hei and anyone that rode in that truck said wow this 350 has some balls to it I said no 305 no way yep it doesn't take much to see 250 hp and 300 ft lbs torque where as most of the 350s are less than that stock just some smaller combustion chamber 194 /150 heads basically just port matched and some cleaning up and that motor made that 750 cfm q jet open quite a ways up and moaned like a bitch with exhaust manifolds and decent mufflers and tail pipes it would spin both tall back tires a decent ways once I broke them loose and a real blast in the rain like I said not bad at all
We'll be keeping the carb, distributor, and front accessories to put on the other motor... basically will be a longblock with intake but could prolly throw in the serpentine set up off the vortec motor if you wanted it

Sorry to hear that man hope you get her going good
You're a good son helping your daddy out with the engine swap. I wish I could find a truck as clean as that in the rust belt where I live.
good stuff man. i have a 84 4x4 ive been restoring slowly. it was a 305 700r4 truck but now it has a 350 with alittle work and sm456 4 speed.
First thing I do when I do engine swapps is I get rid of all stupit smog pollution bullshit. Just unnecessary bullcrap you are right
350 will be a nice bump. Keep the vids coming!
Trucks come to life with a solid lifter BBC... 😉😎
Lol that would be sweet
Nice truck. Look forward to the 350 swap
❤️
Dang that truck has a good body nice truck like it👍👍
HA! Was wondering when burnout, then a voice came on saying none on this video.😂🤣 Cracked me up. Love the videos brother, Be good
Thanks bud
Awesome video as usual 👍
Thanks bud
It’s amazing how these engines can even run being so choked down like they were.
I know right
You exactly right🤦
They always run so much better when u get rid of the air injection and egr valve.
Its definitely a clean, straight looking truck. Don't look like it was abused at all.
I see you've already installed the keyless start. Lol

Question was that a 4 core Radiator in the truck of so can I get a meserment of the fan shroud ty
Don't think so but ill check
Ty
Hey man, throw some short-wides my way! You got enough of them haha.
If tire keeps leaking around rim break it down rub brake fluid around wheel put the air to it

Lol thats prolly what I'm gonna do
I'll buy that 305 from ya, looking for my first rebuild project!
Make me an offer bud
Bowtie, you have got to get you a lift.
That would be nice

I've seen a few of em that was carbed in s10s but haven't ever really fooled with em besides swapping them for a v8 lol
Run a q jet on the 4.3 it will work fine and they can be pretty peppy
@@glennmanchester1568 you mean the Rochester quadrajet that gm used will it bolt right up ?

Are 305s any good? I heard that they were the worst motor by GM.
They're good motors for driving around n what not just not power houses
@@bowtieguy601 oh I see. Thanks.

Can't wait to see what kinda monster you'll make outta your dad's truck.
Sell me the 305
Make an offer man
@@bowtieguy601 you keeping the intake and carb?
We'll be keeping the carb, distributor, and front accessories to put on the other motor... basically will be a longblock with intake but could prolly throw in the serpentine set up off the vortec motor if you wanted it
@@bowtieguy601 really all im looking for is a long block. You think the rings are why its smoking or valve seals
Prolly rings
Now this is your dads truck?
Nvm lol.
Lol yep
