I am giddy as a school girl, and I thought I would share-

Yesterday I finished hooking everything up for the 350 conversion in my pig, and I cranked it over. It's not timed correctly, but it still managed to run. Man was it a rush to hear it go!

Just thought I would throw it out there, and say thanks for the help during the process. POR is a wealth of knowledge.

Next step- finish mounting the power steering box, and do the spring over...

Muhahahaha...... :fj:

I am still surprised every time a motor that I helped put in fires for the first time. A friend and I just replaced the 3.0 liter V6 in my pickup, and every time we pulled off a vacuum line to the plenum (with about 20 lines hooked to it) we kept saying "this will NEVER run again"
Surprise, ...it did.
Cool with your piggy, I now have two of them, niether is assembled, but one has no rust and 4" of lift, and the other has 37K original on it.

Should make for a nice rig when it is done.

If I can get the engine to run after the swap

:D :D

I bought my cruiser with a 302 already in it but I didn't like the carb. My engine knowledge stops at doing an oil change. I bought a used holley 2Di projection and installed it. Ran all new hard gas lines and hooked everything up following instructions for a 1Di (inline 6 jeep system). Had to put in a new intake manifold to mate to the holley. At the same time I went with a peformance distributor DUI system. I was pretty amazed when it fired up.

I have the same two steps left as you... p/s and SOA. I just wish it was a little warmer and it would stop snowing. I don't have a covered work area.
