[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 211174, member: 3959"] I didn't think so. I loved my 86 Blazer, but Chevy screwed up with a bunch of these things by putting in the 305. What better way to reduce your mileage by putting in an under-powered engine. The nice thing about them is it takes about 2 hours to drop in a 350. Man I did so many of those kinds of swaps back in the day I could've done one in my sleep. The real fun one was when I took [I]what I thought[/I] was a 305 out of my 78 Nova, put a set of rebuilt 305 heads on it, then shoe-horned it into my 81 Monza. When I brought it to emissions they said "we gotta check the numbers" and that was when I found out it wasn't a 305, but a 1972 400. That was a fast car, the Monzarati we called. I eventually twisted the frame on it. I dont recall whatever happened to that car... Ah the good ol' days. Drinking Old Milwaukee at midnight lying under a car on the garage floor with a turbo 350 on my chest... [/QUOTE]
