Hello people!
Hello everone,im her for some help i have a 1988 astrovan i plan on installing a 350 sbc.
I'm now in the stages of finding one to rebiuld or buy ready to go.
Ive never tried rebuilding myself an engine before so ill probably need loads of help lol.
My last ride was a 1981 camaro that i dropped a 454 bb into, that was quite fun!!Had my second child soooo. now ive got this van here and i'd love to put a bbc into it but this is gonna be my everyday drive , besides traction will be an issue with the 350 let alone a bbc. I look forward to talking to all of you and tia for all help i may recieve!

Welcome Astro. Sounds like a good challenge you have ahead of you.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

Welcome to CHR, Astro. Sounds like you have an interesting project ahead. Why bother building a motor so soon??? You have a lot of chassis building and suspension work ahead of you before it's ready for a motor. Have fun, post some pics.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

From what i understand a sbc will drop right in with some new mounts from racecraft or jtr.Gonna use the 700r4 tranny thats in it now(already rebuilt)Will wait and see how the rearend holds up!there are some good posi units available for these rears as well.

hmm, I built my first engine in the dining room, and I have been eating in the garage ever since!Objects in my rear view mirror are a good thing unless,.... they have red and blue lights flashing.

My wife told me the kitten needs to be chipped. I had only a 9 iron but I still got it over the shed.
