For a 350 Vortec engine, temperatures exceeding 220°F (104°C) are generally considered too hot for safe operation. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to engine damage, including overheating, warped components, and potential failure. It's important to monitor the temperature and ensure proper cooling system function to maintain optimal performance. If temperatures consistently exceed this threshold, it's advisable to investigate potential cooling system issues.
195 to 210 is the best running temperature
no the cam remains the same,
it dies because you need alot of battery for that
For an '84 Silverado, a 350 Vortec engine would generally be a better choice compared to the 305 with a 488 cam. The 350 Vortec offers more displacement, which translates to greater torque and horsepower potential, making it more suitable for various driving conditions. Additionally, the Vortec heads provide improved airflow and efficiency, enhancing overall performance. If you're looking for a balance of power and reliability, the 350 Vortec is likely the superior option.
Yes you can. There are a few sensors that are different but after swapping them over it will run. The mounts and bolt pattern are the same. You will certainly be stepping back as far as performance and power goes. Not only does it obviously have fewer cubic inches but the heads lack the flow that the 350 vortec heads have, The 305 Vortec heads also do not have the famous Vortec heart shaped combustion chamber as the 350 heads. The 305 head also has smaller valves and smaller runners. You can also swap the other way and place a 350 vortec in where a 305 was. I have personally done these swaps with no troubles at all.
You can put the Vortec in it if you have the wiring and ecm to run it. or you could use the Vortec heads and an aftermarket intake and really wake up your engine. The vortecs use a roller cam.
180, degrees. The new vortec motors, after 2000, run at 210.
Yes you just have to put on your intake manifold off the newer engine, change over all of your sensors and put in the distributor off of the newer engine.
probably
yes but most 96 engines had vortec heads and intake manifold which are way better and if its fuel injected you might have some driveability problems it will still run but might not run smoothly
No, it shouldn't. Something else is causing it to run hot.
Sounds like the thermostat is stuck open. Try a new one.
