What are the differences between a 350 Chevy truck engine and a 350 Chevy car engine?

Answer 1

Back in the 60's through the early 80's 350 truck engines had a 4-bolt main engine in them. Most of the truck engines had a low end torque camshaft in them too. The heads had bigger valves plus sodium filled valves to get read of the heat in the valves. The heads where also a heaver casting so they would not crack while being worked hard. The truck engine even had better rods in them too. Alot of the bigger truck engines had a steal crankshaft in them.

The car engine had none of these special parts in them. The only cars that had special-good parts in them were the muscle cars of the 60's through the mid 70's, chevelles camaros ect..

There is a night and day difference in the truck and car engines.
