    What Turbo 350 Should I Look For ??

     



    Since I normally do not play with Chevies, I am not sure what Turbo 350 tranny I should look for. I have decided to hit the U Pick Um junkyard Saturday and try to find a usable transmission for Project $ 3 K. Eventually I will buy a rebuilt one, but for now I just want to get a cheaper one to get the car running.

    The question is, what cars do I look under at the yard? And what years? Do I look at full size, mid size? How about shaft length? Are full size longer? Do vans have the same 350's in as cars, and do 4.3 applications work with a 5.7? Are there any to avoid also?

    I need all the advice you guys can give me on how to spot one. I will be ok as far a looking at the color and odor of the fluid, and looking for cleanliness of the trans and overall appearance, but I just need to know which vehicles are the most likely candidates.

    Thanks in advance.
