Datz350 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have a 71 240z w/ sbc 305 & th350 trans. I want to swap a 350 and have a little over $2k to work with. What would you do?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'd try and find a decent 350, and an R200 tranny ( same size as your th350 ) for the overdrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) You should be able to do the swap for 2K easy. I am in the process of doing a SBC 355 swap right now. I was able to score a 4 bolt main freshly rebuild motor for $700 and am now replacing the stock 882 heads with patriot freedom aluminum heads i got on craigslist for $400. I am running a borgwarner WC T5 transmission but if you want to go auto you can run a 700R4 or a TH400. You just have to look through CL everyday and you will be able to find an excellent deal.

Pyro Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Get a used 96 to 2000 5.7 vortec engine. Comes with a factory roller cam and vortec heads. Should be able to get a complete engine (fan to flywheel) in good shape for less than 1000. May also be a good idea to get the transmission attached to the engine. I would also get the engine with the complete efi system and get that going too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
