And holy cow did I run into some weird issues. I'll have pictures and a writeup like I did with the Hydroboost unit later, but I'm still not done with the install.
From the looks of things, it looks like this kit should bolt up to just about any 350 - and it probably would. I think I have a weird block with some weird heads, probably some cheap crap that the guy could throw in the car to get it running again. Anyhow - I've been drilling and tapping holes in the heads and block that should normally be there - but aren't. If I didn't have to do that, I'm pretty sure I could have been done with this whole job in about 4 hours - not including filling the system back up, and routing the power steering lines - which will be a little tricky, since I'm using the hydroboost and converting to all stainless lines.
Other than a couple of minor problems with the kit, I'm real happy with the fit and quality of the March kit. I know that Gr8PMKN had some major problems with his when he installed it, but it seems as if March has worked a good bit of them out. I'll know for sure when I finish the whole job up tomorrow. (hopefully smile.gif
I should have the new webpage and detailed write-up done tomorrow. I'll also take some pictures of my cut-up forearms - I've been knicking them on a couple of wire-ties I have on the core support - really kinda irkin' me. :mad:
