Timing covers

Thanks Bill for the update.... :beer

 

large manufacturer??????any hints?? :Brow: well im pretty sure all of us 350 guys cant wait!!!!!! :TU: :3gears: :3gears: :3gears:

 

Hey fellers, does the V6 timing cover include the bolt-on timing tab???? (GM or aftermarket???)

just wondering........

 

Melling also has the timing cover.

 

Rockauto has them for $95.

HTH.

 

I have a 601-8091 Clevite timing cover downstairs that I bought for my 350 build, it did not come with the timing indicator. I got a used one from a '78 350 but any late '75 up rwd V6 or 350 should be a good donator. I belive that the GM part# for the standard (non cam sensor type) indicator is 1258617.

Has anyone tried to make the crankshaft driven oil pump cover from a v6 work on a 350 ssb yet?

I did a little investigating of that awhile back, the info I got was that the only way to do it would be to cut-n-weld the bottom half of a new cover to the upper half of an older one. Looking at pictures of them, the upper half of the newer cover is completely different. Bummer.....

 

New water pump cover

I rebuilt a V8 350 and I put a late model V6 water pump on it, I think I had to drill out the guide holes. The later pump, big dimple in center, was redesigned for even water flow to both heads. I didn't have any problem with the timing indicator.

Well... there is the late model Range Rover version.

Im Excited!

I HAVE A 70 350 AND I REALLY HOPE THAT SOME ONE MAKES SOME HEADS AND TURBO-SUPERCHARGERS FOR THESE. THAT WOULD BE NICE! :3gears:

 

its bout time someone started to make THE MUCH NEEDED 350sbb parts, whatever company has started working on theses PROPS!!!!!!! :beer

even though my car is bone stock as of now, i will undoubtably buy some aftermarket heads and an intake that is of some use, with the availability of the sbb's its gonna be great, i frequently see them for sale arround $100-200 spend a few grand and you have a very lightweight engine with hopefully GOBS of Torque and horseies from the new aftermarket parts. :3gears: :3gears: :3gears:

p.s. whats the deal with the v6 fuel injected type cover??? are they making a fuel injection kit for the 350, therefore a fuelinjected manifold??? whats the deal??

 

You say late model. What year would that be exactly? o No:

 

Timing cover years

I found my sales slip for the front cover, GM part 12337249, also found the cover listed by TA as #TA 1530. This is the same cover as on my old 82 V6 engine.

Timing cover

I need to replace this cover on my 72 Skylark wiht a 350/4 (140,000 miles). I may add the booster plate when I do it.

Is there anything else I should check or replace? No gauges but the oil pressure seems ok.

I called Advance Auto but they did not recognize this number. Has anyone else ordered from them?

Thanks,
Kerry

Timing Cover

I have a 1972 Buick Skylark (350/4) that I need to replace the timing cover. I may add the Booster plate; is there anything else I need to do while I am in there? Oil pressure seems ok.

Thanks!
