  • Cleanin an Engine and other problems

    ok I have a 350 v8 for my 79 Cam that I need to clean and right now it has no heads , carb, or manifolds on it and is missin some injectors. I just need someones opinion on how they would go about cleanin this thing...
    I was thinkin bout disasembling the thing because I'm gonna have to rebuild it any was but I don't have the money to do it right now.
    Also on my 88 Cam which is fuel injected I've been havin some problems. It stalls sometimes while in nuetral evan when clutch is all the way to the floor (just recently replaced clutch system) which may just be the timing. Also some times it won't start unless I give it gas while I'm turnin the key.
    Any opinion will help me out...

    To clean the exterior of the engine there are good engine cleaners. I can't think of the name now but I use a can that you spray on. Wait a few minutes and wash it of. It looks great. If you have a lot of grease you might just soak it in dish washing soap for an hour if you can get to it. Just don't get any inside the engine!

          ok you need to check fuel pressure, check the coil and rotor to see if they are corroded, and how does it idle?

          is that 305 fi = the tuned port injection? or is it throttle body injection tbi
