Ok, thanks for the info. I think my car had a short shaft th350 in it when I bought it so maybe mine will work. Its been over a year since I pulled everything out and I've done forgot.

This is weird. I have a 6.0/th350 in a 86 notch myself...ha. Mine is carbed and a lq9 with l92 heads tho. I motor plated mine because the aje wasnt available when I did my swap.

I got my AJE in ,and the LS fit perfect. Like he said , like it was meant to be. More pics of the hedders ,and take pics while modifying the drivers side. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to use my 302 long tubes on mine. What size primary was that? What are you doing with the truck accesories? Modifying them or doing the car stuff?

lol. Ill get some pics of drivers side header too. Pass. side all we had to do was swap out flange. They are 1 5/8th unfortunately but we opened up the port to 1 3/4 so it will flow better. Drivers side just rerouted 2 tubes and cut the other ones a little shorter at flange to move them in.

What do you guys think it will run? Completely stock motor with longtubes, full exhaust, no p/s or a/c, cold air intake setup, full tune, 3200 stall, 3.73 gear.


Im going to get more pics this weekend for sure. Ill get pics of the oil pan to ground clearence, both headers off the car and installed and show what we had to do to them to make them fit. Btw they are 302 headers not 351w swap headers and the clear everything good. Just basically had to clearence around the steering shaft on the back 2 primaries on the drivers side and on the pass. side we just switched flanges and cut and turned the collector so the o2 sensor didnt hit the trans pan.

I have the intake with cover/sheild to were it clears my 2.5" cowl hood without touching, just cut down a couple things.

For the trans mount, a stock dual hump crossmember will work and line up with a th350 perfectly. I made the mistake of getting a stock th350 trans mount and it sits too low. Found out a t5 mount will fit perfect and give the right drivetrain angle and raise the rear of the trans up the proper amount.

Im getting the fuel filter/reg, trans mount, and gauge adapters installed this weekend as well as the headers and driveshaft.

Not too much left to do.

Thinking about trading the a1000 for an inline walbro anybody interested?
