I guess it's okay. I killed a Turbocoupe by putting a 5.0 in it. So in a way I understand.

310 cubic inches.

Did you take a 350, and de-stroke it, or take a 305 and give it the poke?

At least you kept a ford power palnt in it.

Rest in peace Poor Turbo coupe......

If you were worried about reliability why would you try and buid up a 2.3L to begin with?

5.0Ls are reliable, and cheap. oh well, you car...

305 Its a little freak motor that i built a while back and makes good power.I just gave ger a freshen up and a little head and intake work this go around.

It has been a best of 7.90@88 (12.40@109 1/4) on the motor and 7.17@98 (11.28@121) on a little hit with mediocre 60' times the last time it was out.Gonna try for a repeat performance this time.

im disappointed we never got to find out exactly how fast the 2.3 setup was, and that setup was junked due to a converter failure.

goin fast, is goin fast i guess. i hope its fast.

Looks good, get air time in that car, 305's if built right can kick some ass.

A set of 67-81 camaro headers (long or short tube ive ran both and both fit ok) there may be others that fit better but i havent really looked into it.

Replace the rag joint with a Street rod style u joint (long tube only)

(some pass firewall mods at the drain location for tube clearance)

2-3/4 - 3" longer driveshaft and GM yoke with outside locks (driveshaft length for short tail th350 only)

I made my own solid mounts

use 2.3 radiator hoses to keep your ford radiator

Thats about it real simple swap.

There are k members and mounts/headers out for the swap but i havent priced any

Its hard to keep dumping money in it when a converter sets you back 700 bills.

$329 for the AJE k-member. im pretty sure it uses some type of stock sbc motor mounts.

my k-member would allow me to bolt in a ls1, if i ever decided to change motors. :evilgrin:
