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

Thank you. the body, frame, and hog troughs are fine. no holes, surface rust only. frnot end is rebuilt, the engine is the big problem

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?
