Is the flex plate the same between the 305 and 350?
i never noticed any vibrations when my flexplate was bent and they arent keyed so im gonna say the flexplate isnt the issue. if it bolts up itll work.
[QUOTE=fbronco86]Did the cam get broke in right. Maybe you did not get the right wear pattern on the lifter and cam and it chewed up a lobe?
by right do you mean romping on it from day one, *** :flipoff2: i would try the dizzy first and then, new balancer.
hey i didnt romp on it from day one ***** :flipoff2: i waited like a couple weeks to be stupid
the balancer is new... ive said that like 5 timesQuote:

i played with the vacuums adn the jets and timing.... everything i did makes the motor run worse... so i think its dialed in fine.

damn who's hand is that on the throttle? That is one sexy hand :rainbow:
who rebuilt the motor?
i dont know.. ask sharp
well, i'd try another distributor like you said, then go from there. i guess could the dist gear be worn out or fubared some way?
maybe the distributor blew up with itQuote:

ya back to my first post i just wanna drop in another dist. before i do anything stupid
Well the cam and lifters were brand new and the motor was rebuilt by Rogers Precision Machine down in Corpus. They are a very reputable company and I've never heard any complaints against them. That alternator was brand new when we put it on about 7 or 8 years ago, then I blew the motor and all its accesories went in the bed of the truck when I took the blown motor out 3 years ago. This is where you enter picture and buy rebuilt motor with all the accesories.
thats right rogers... ya those guys are freaking bad ass.
thats the only thing i used that you gave me robert is what they did and the dist. which you can tell in the pic isnt in the best of shape... replaced vacuum advance cap and rotor.
alternator was bad.. heads had 5 cracks in them each, and didnt use any of the accesories

done deal, I think you will like the one we found coop, it looks brand new...
ok wasnt the distr.
firing order is right
wtf?
alright, new NVG or whatever they are called plugs, MSC wires, new dist. times it 10 differnt ways... and the way i had it was exactly right... ****ed with fuel, ive already run the valves. still same shake right at 2k.
everyone keeps saying ****ed up cam or bad rods.
but this has done this since day one... and motor runs way to good to bed ****ed up... i mean i can rev the thing up to 5k if i wanted to and it couldnt be smoother.
i think its the torque converter. balance issue.
it has the shake right at 2k when speeding up... so ijust speed up faster and it doesnt shake :flipoff2:
but i did notice a trans leak coming from behind the dust cover. and when you are like driving down the road and hit the brakes to come to a stop the truck has a shake to it and to me it feels like the trans shaking its self down.
to test this i was going about 50 down texas and put it into neutral and then stepped on the brakes.... no shake.
so i guess this weekend im gonna pull the trans back and fire it up to test it out.
next step... should i put in a 4 speed, a manual or just get a good torque converter?
what is a good torque converter?
and stupid question.. but whats the easiest way to check if its a lock out style trans or not? i dont see a bunch of electrons hanging off but there are some things on it that are not being used.
i know useing the wrong TC would cause some ****.
be careful running it without a tranny on there. How are you going to hold up the ass of the motor?

I know different motas have internal or external ballancing and say if I gave you the flexplate off a 6.2 by accident, or even a different gas mota, this might cause problems. I have a torque converter for th400 you can have, according to mario it will fit the th350. It came out of pigpen originally so it should work. I dont know about swapping in a manual, for starters they are fawking heavy. An SM465 weighs at least 200 pounds by itself and they are a bit "deeper" (tall) than a automatic. Too bad I just sold my hydraulic clutch setup for one. You will also need a whole new transfer case. Would flattened lobes on the cam be easy to spot if you took it out to inspect it? I know it'd be alot of work but there's no sense in spending money replacing tranny parts if thats what it might be.
honestly though, a 700r4 or 4l60e will have a plug on top of the case above the pan on the drivers side.
^ 5 fawking posts while I was typing that...
...horrible advice to try a used-ass TC to solve his problemsQuote:

this is true, ask me how i know
It didnt come out of a parts truck you homo it came out of pigpen which was a running driving truck till I blew the motor. New TC's cost like 2-300, would YOU spend that much? Didnt think so...*****.

i dont think i want a used TC... if it is the TC thats why im having this problem in the first place.
how do i know if i do have the right flex plate on there? is there a casting number on them or anything.
because this discussion of the flex plate came up months ago but i just told everyone that it was the one that should have came with the motor.
I'm pretty sure you have the right one, maybe the Brunes can tell you for sure?
if your sure that the TC you have is good do you have it up here?
and the right kind lock out or not.
thats why i was asking which one it was so im not a dumb ass and get the wrong kind of TC
its a TH350

I haven't swapped around enough autos to know which one you need, but If I remember right, there's nothing really different except for two-piece or one piece rear main and on two piece rear main, it depends on the mountin pattern on the back of the crankshaft. Other than that, I think it's pretty fool proof. I do however strongly suggest you do not fire up the engine without a transmission behind it, but if you decide you absolutely have to, take the flexplate off. Remind me and I'll tell you how my old boss got a scar from his ankle to above his kneecap sometime.
well i guess i wont be doing that, i just dont know how to test it other wise... guess ill have to just buy another TC and hope thats whats wrong with it.
No its at my shop but I can bring it back when I go home for the break, or I could take it to your house in Port A if you you want. I'm prety sure neither th400 or th350s have lockup converters, like I said Mario told me they would interchange because he wanted a 6.2 TC for his truck because it has a lower stall.
hmm well i was planning on changing it out so i could go to port a for the break. it would blow ass if it went out on the way down there. and i really dont have the tools to **** with it down there. its not slipping or anything but you never know.
ill see what prices i can find, but i might go for that offer.
ok when ordering a torque converter would you want a stall rating of like 2000rpm or one higher like 2400 or 2600 rpms. it never gets over 3000 and cruises at like 2000. so im guessing 2000...
just wanna make sure.
