NHRA says it's a 350 ..No 305 listed for 86 truck

There is no 350/165 engine specs only 305/165 specs. I'm sure it will be corrected, unless we just dream up our own 350 specs :) which will lead to 10 or 12 short bed chevy trucks at each race. Don't think a 624 head lasted past 82 but I really don't care. Just would like to see engine specs before buying one.

Mark if you look in the tech guide you will see that the 165 HP is a 305.

Daran, it is a 350. You have to look under '86 Chevrolet Truck...it's under a separate heading.

Thanks never noticed a truck only list. I think there is one down the street for cheap, I still want a daily driver that I can run association and IHRA races, that would work!

I just brought home a 2.5 T minivan instead, I believe the fuel mileage will be better and it was just too nice to pass up. Chevy might get 14-15 mpg and turbo may get 22-25 maybe :)

Billy is that for the q jet or throttle body engine? I have a beautiful 86 truck step side body and frame I think the guy is going to quit on the project.
