Swapped the old treefity out...

[Swaggerwagon]

Been busy the last few weeks.. Finally got my old worn out 350 swapped out for a much lower mile 350...The old engine had 274k on it, and was suffering from worn rings( had some bad blowby )...and a valve train issue that caused some horrible clacking noise when cold weather hits...

I decided to clean the replacement engine up and give it a fresh paint job, i went with a black on silver paint scheme...Turned out nice imo...and it runs much better than the old engine...

Now for some pics....

The new engine all stripped down for paint..

Nice work, I'm looking for a good deal on a 350 so I can swap out my 305. I see you're running dual alts on the truck that's a lot of power, do you run a lot of electrical accessories?

Well, i have a e-fan out of a 94 t-bird(4300cfm), i also have a deep cycle battery in my truckbox, which has a 750 watt power inverter hooked to it. and i also run a 8000lb receiver mount winch off the deep cycle/aux. alternator....so yeah, it has plenty of "accessories" lol

Yep...

How did you make the air cleaner?

I cut it out of the stock air cleaner housing, using a angle grinder with a thin cutoff wheel...

I would have also if i had the time/$$..

Believe me, compared to the old engine, this was an upgrade lol...
