My V8 swap..(putting flame suit on)56k maybe?

you forgot to mention flak for swapping in an autobox.

I think it's cool swap, but find a f'ing 5-speed!

*edit* does the 305 even have 200hp? IIRC it's less :(

Anemic heads on those motors and really crappy TPI made them worthless slugs. :(

I'm going ahead and going to start a thread on my V8 swap. I will update it as i progress through the project. Right now i just have the motor sitting on the floor. My sisters car just got done today so i'll have my space back so i can hang my motor on the stand. The motor i'm going to put in my e30 is a 305TPI with a 700R4 for a trans. I got the drivetrain out of a 86 Camaro Z28 IROC Z. I'm going to put a small cam in it and clean up the ports in the heads. And freshen the motor up with new rings,bearings, and gaskets. I'll propobly put a set of block hugger shorty headers on it unless i see that i can fit a set of long tube headers on it. So here is my car and motor as it sit's today. I know i'll get alot of flack for putting a all cast iron sbc in it and flack cause it's a 305 and not a 350.





And the old dirty 305 TPI
