The 5.7 heads will work if they have the smaller 184 intake valves . Or you will have to bore the block over to get the 194 ,200,or 202 intake valves to fit into the cylinder if not it will lock it up when the valve opens and hits the edge of the block
Depending on years that you are swapping around....yes. The 305 heads will raise the compression of the 350 considerably. However, the intake valves are a lot smaller than the 350.
The crankshaft has nothing to do with a short are long block. A short block is everything but the heads and intake. A long block has the heads and intake all ready on it, Its the complete engine. You have to put the heads and intake on the short block yourself. That is the difference.
a 350 is a small block those heads will fit on and Chevy SMALL block not a big block
In the cylinder heads.
Yes, however, they both take different intake manifolds, so you will have to transfer the intake, as well.
Cylinder heads are installed on a Chevy 454 big block engine by placing the gasket down on the engine block and positioning the heads over the marking tabs. The bolts are then installed and torqued to specs in sequence.
ANY year that has a carburetor intake manifold available to install on the block/heads.
No, but if the 96 has the 5.7 Vortec engine then it will have different heads which give it more power. ETA Question: Can I put the '96 vortec heads and intake on the '93 engine? You will need a vortec specific manifold. Edelbrock makes one
They can if the heads are cracked ,are the intake manifold gaskets were put on wrong when thay were installed. The heads themselves if thay are good heads will not cause overheating. You cannot put the head gaskets on wrong on a small block Chevy engine.
A bare 283 Chevy engine block with no heads or rotating assembly, aprox 150 lbs.
A short block is a engine that has NO heads are intake. Some short blocks don't even have a oil pan and timing cover either. A long block is the entire engine complete.
Sandwiched between the heads and the engine block.
