92 loaded 4x4 with 305?
I traded a nice sport quad for my single cab swb 4x4 5spd. I was told it has a rebuilt 350 in it. I've had it since January with no problems. Untill last week anyways. It started pushing coolant back into the resavore. I pulled the heads off and took them into the machine shop and he told me my supposed 350 was actually a 305.
I was just wondering if the 305 is the correct motor for my truck or how I can find out.

Those trucks did come with a 305 back then if they put in a factory replacement motor in it. Measure the bore since you have the heads off, its the only way to know for sure.
Buddy of mine had one when we were in GM ASEP school. We were waiting for the teacher to take vacation so we could swap the motor with the motor out of a GM donated school learning vehicle since it had a 350 and his truck had a 305. We never got to do it since we had the director and the Ford ASSET teacher always there also.

Ok. So a 305 was available for my truck. I won't be back around it till Monday. I'll measure the bore then. Gonna be a little pissed if it's a 305. Cause my 6000$ quad was worth more than what I traded for.
Yes I know it was already worth more I just wanted a different hobby. Lol

If it's a 92 I'm guessing it's a TBI motor. If the engine has been swapped make sure it has the correct PROM, injectors and knock sensor. Those are really the only differences between the two.
The knock sensor is different because of the different bore size, the harmonics in the way it detonates are different. The knock module may be different but I can't remember that for sure.
The injectors on the 350's are bigger and the PROM is different because of the previous listed reasons.
Let us know what you find out.

Well I finally got my heads back. An the block is 350 but the heads are off of a 305. The #'s in the glove box arnt ledgable so idk what it was supposed to have in it. My guess is the guy I got it from had cracked the 305 block and found a 350 that needed heads and swaped everything out.
Are there any benefits to having 305 heads on a 350?
