Re: V8 350 conversion in Progress
Well my configuration would be the same as the V6 as i will be using the same acc brackets jut like if it was a V6 262. Now my concern is wether my V6 W/P would do the job on a V8 block. unless i am missing something

Re: V6 to V8 swap water pump
I can do that, i just want to make sure that the W/P deliver the pressure that the motor need for cooling as i can read a lot of comment here about it, but i will definitely try the V8 W/p going Clockwise1Gary wrote:Why don't you just return the wrong pump for the right one??.

Re: V6 to V8 swap water pump
Thanks for replies yes i will be using the acc bracket off my v6 to put on the V8.

Plus i wil...

Re: My sons 94 project
on your conversion to a V8, did you had to swap the rom chip from a V6 to a V8 to the original ECU of your Astro? mine will soon go under a new transplant to a V8 350 from a Suburban, just dying to have it done.
