Re: 1968 C25 307 to 350 Swap Advice
So it looks like I'm going to go with the summit crate engine. I'll also buy the oil pump primer as BossHogg69 suggested. I've been having issues with my alternator, so I'll replace that (the previous owner bought the regulated model, but didn't install the regulator on it. It also wasn't connected to the battery when I bought the truck....) I'll also replace the water pump and thermostat. All plugs, plug wires, and hoses, as well as the distributor cap and rotor will be replaced.
Someone mentioned replacing the front transmission seal as well. Is that pretty easy to do when you've got the engine out? I'm all for replacing seals and gaskets when I'm right there, especially if it prolongs the time before I have to pull something big to fix a leak.
Is there anything else anybody would suggest that I do while I'm in there? I'm still fairly new to this world, so I just don't want to have a long list of "shoulda done thats..."
