Thread: pre '86 SBC 350 Conversion to EFI and cam selection

Tweet

Guys I cant thank y'all enough. Your responses have been more than encouraging, they've been enlightening and and helpful in my decision. As far as my tool range and where I'll be doing it, a family friend of mine is helping me do this and has every tool there is to have when doing this work and has the shop/lift to do it in. As far as parts and process, we are going to be rebuilding the engine completely and if-need-be the transmission as well. replacing the heads and his original thought to do was TBI, but I feel as though I would be happier with EFI. during the rebuild process we will obviously be going through and resealing everything and putting new rings on the pistons. I am gonna have to have the block machined for sure though. And, as far as cam selection goes, I was only really considering a roller cam anyways, so that definitely works out. Again, I greatly appreciate y'alls replies! Cant thank y'all enough! I'll be posting in here my progress once I start in on the project of it. I've had it since I was 16 as my first vehicle and want to be able to one day hand it down to my son who is about to be 3 years old. I'm overjoyed to be able to start getting the truck in the condition to hopefully be able to do just that one day.

Perhaps a setup like the Holley EFI is what either you or your friend was referencing? It would be a good choice imo too. Glad the group was able to help.. We enjoy that as much as you.
