Default Hello, need advice

Hi,
I have a Toyota pickup with a SBC, TH350, and Danna rear-end.
The SBC is from a 1985 Camaro and I plan to go to TPI (everything is inhouse and ready). I don't know if I should get some nice aluminum heads and do the TPI conversion or if I should be looking for a donor car.

Any suggestions on heads or donor cars? Are there any aluminum block donors out there that bolt up like the 305 I have now?

Thanks,
Vin

Default Looking for SBC advice

Hi,
I have a Toyota pickup with a SBC, TH350, and Danna rear-end.
The SBC is from a 1985 Camaro and I plan to go to TPI (everything sitting around and ready to go except the wire harness). I don't know if I should get some nice aluminum heads and do the TPI conversion or if I should be looking for a donor car.

Any suggestions on heads or donor cars? Are there any aluminum block donors out there that bolt up like the 305 I have now?

Thanks,
Vin
