I am going to be removing my '87 305 tpi motor from my trans am soon and will be selling it. it has only 49k miles on it and nothing is wrong with it at all. i am building a 355 tpi motor and thats why i'm removing the current engine. the engine runs very strong and idles perfect. i will be using the crank from the 305 and the tpi system. i will include the exhaust manifolds and possibly other parts on request, just no tpi intake unit or crank from the engine. everything else such as heads and internal parts will be included. if you're planning on rebuilding just remove your crank and slap it in this engine and it will save you hundreds from boring and rebuilding your engine now. the engine in '87 had 205 hp and 295lbsft of torque. email me with an offer. i'll consider all offers, just email me at johndo1707@hotmail.com for any questions or pics. thanks!

 

if your building a 350 why are you using a 305 crank for the 350? **** if anything I would use a 400 crank

 

non tech that i can see here. what's the question?

 

Even though the 305 and the 350 have the same stroke they do not use the came crankshaft. Pro scavengers know methods of differenciating between the two. 350s are a dime a dozen. The 305 crank is enferiorly balanced and when balanced to you rods and pisons with 4' bore, they will definately have to inject malory into each crank throw. This is an expensive process, especially considering that you can find a 350 crank almost everywhere.

This doesnt mean go to a million dollar aftermarket piece, just fing a beaten old truck engine, and use it. Crankshaft damage is a rare thing so you shouldn't have a problem finding one that is good.

 

well, you do have a point, but the guy at my local engine shop seems pretty confident it will perform jsut fine, but i'm going to be looking into it more, thanks!
