Question i have a friend that just bought a 80 t/a questions for the owners of the 301 turbo

ok well he paid 800 bucks for this t/a all white red interior 301 turbo

the linkage is screwed up so it wont go into reverse and the front of the guy who had it last said he parked it after the front of it started smokin a lil bit.. but no batteyt so it wouldnt start for us...

No, you can't swap the turbo over to a 350. the engines are totally different.well you could if you wanted to do a ton of fab. work and then the turbo would be to small.

Yah.. if the 301 doesn't run, take the opportunity to swap it out for a 400 or 455. Those should bolt right in, (i'm not sure about the mounts, but I"m pretty sure the trannys bolts up). Forget the 350, a Pontiac 350 has too small of a bore to perform aswell as the bigger Pontiacs, and if you're going to do a swap you might aswell go big.

I picked up my last 400 for $200.00 Canadian.. well worth it.
