I was looking on Jegs.com at some crate engins. The engine is a Deluxe 350 HO it is a 350ci w/ 330hp and 380ft. lbs. of torque. I was going to put it in a '87 K10 Custom Deluxe truck with a 305. The truck has 170K miles on it, it is in good shape but I know that before long it is going to bite the dust. Does this sound like a good combination and what are some good combinations that has worked for some of you guys? Is this too big of a step up from the stock engine and transmition? Any help would be great. Thanks!!

 

what about it guys, any info?? This would really help me out.

 

for what you need, its perfect. we have one at work, in an s-10, its a peppy, torquey motors, that can take a good beating. what kind of trans? th-350, th-400, th-700r4?

 

I am not sure what trans is in it, does it say somewhere in the ownermanual or on a body sticker or somewhere, where can I find out? It is supposed to be a heavy duty trans made for hauling and towing trailers if that can tell you anything.
and thanks for the help

 

I found a small metal plate on the back of the transfer case but is this for the trans or just the transfer case?
