Quicksilver

Ac previous owner put in the 305 from a Monte Carlo. The car still has the original automatic. With some health problems i've had we haven't really started on the car yet. I was just offered a deal on an LS 6 litre with a 6l80 transmission, tested and running. It is actually cheaper than a number of 350's that i have found. It even comes with an adapted wiring harness. However, paying attention to what you have all said, i will likely go with a built 350 and a 700R transmission, and top it off with a Holly Sniper fuel injection system. Any advantage one way or the other between a 200R or a 700R?

good afternoon. did you ever get around to doing the LS conversion? How did it turn out

Here we go. I bought this car (RQ1634) in december 21. What with one thing and another, it finally got to my mechanic today. Turns out it needs a lot more than i was led to believe. Rear brakes, bushings, power steering pump, a/c compressor, wiring, etc. The biggest thing is the motor. the 305 in it is trash, and most likely the auto trans as well. I had grandiose plans to fit an LS engine ad a 6L80 transmission, but according tho my mechanic, the motor won't fit. Not without a complete custom set of headers, mounts, etc. and the transmission tunnel is tight, so we need a smaller transmission. So what have you all done? Has anyone done an LS, or later fuel injected chevy motor, and what difficulties did you encounter? Am i best off just to find a small block 350 chevy and put an aftermarket Holly fuel injection unit on it? And suggestions for a transmission?
