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!

Billy. This has been my ace in the hole for some time. Now everybody knows about it!! RATS!!

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.
