How does this swap sound to you guys. I've got a 65 chevelle with 283 ps and air. Am I correct that I could keep using the same tranny (PG)?

I didn't want to have do remove AC after it cost $800 to get it working again. Would there be anything that would need to get modded or replaced? Is there a fair amount of performance parts out there for em? daveseitz Jan 21st, 04, 7:44 PM Cooling system should be checked,(added heat) U joints and drive train,(added stress) Adman Jan 21st, 04, 8:48 PM the cooling is brand new with a new 4 row radiator. d1_bradley Jan 21st, 04, 9:22 PM I 'think' the 350HO comes with a water pump? If so you may need to swap for a '65 version (length may be different) Adman Jan 21st, 04, 9:43 PM that part I have.

If he's keeping the 65 setup (driver's side alt, short pump, etc) I don't think he needs any holes in the heads, does he? Reid JimN Jan 22nd, 04, 5:01 PM I made the swap last year to a 350 HO and it is great. You can keep the glide, but a switch to a more modern tranny would give you better mileage and performance. The brackets will bolt up to the heads, the only issues might be the brakes or the cooling system, but if you've upgraded, it should also be no problem. Get ready for some great launches! | ||
