i know that this has probably been posted here quite a few time but ive never heard of anybody swapping in a newer 350 into a scout...so i was looking around advance adapters website today and much to my suprise found about 4 options for us scout guys:shaking: i was lookin for an adapter to my tf 727 to my soon to be new tbi350. i saw that they did have one for the 727 to the v8 pre 86. only thing is mine is a 90. i would like to keep the 727 in there so i dont have to screw around underneath with the cross members and re re do everything. what have any of you guys done with a chevy 350 newer than 86??

thanks

Bellhousing pattern is the same on all chevy v8s. If the kit uses a special flexplate that's probably the big difference. In 86 they switched to a one piece rear main seal, which uses a different flexplate/flywheel than the older 2 piece crankshaft.

Did you try calling them to see if they have anything available for the newer engines?

im gonna get to that soon as they are open during the week, just wanted to see wut other people did just incase they didnt have one...

You need to get a external balance flexplate....... 86 and older 350's were internally balanced at the crank :cool2:

I just bought a newer flywheel cuz I went chebby trans also :flipoff2:

AA just emailed me back and said that they have a couple different options, a general adapter needs frame rails atleast 32" and 90deg. from ground, then another part needs a v6 torque converter...
