So the 305 that was in my El Camino when I bought it went out on me about a year ago. So I am now planning to buy a 355 crate engine from jegs.
I have never bought a crate engine or done an engine swap so I will probably have quite a few questions more than I do right now but is there anything not included in that kit that I will need. Also are there any upgrades that I could and should do to it before I would put it in the car? I am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance!
