If you don't want to put a chevy motor in your car, then don't. A 307 isn't much different from a chevy 305/350. I think the big external differences are that the oil filter is on the passenger side...

You have a couple options to use with this motor. Firstly, you could buy a used 350 and just rebuild that before putting it in your car, then sell the 307 to recover some of your costs.
Or, rebuild...

In my opinion, i don't think the computer is fried. Since you can't pull codes from it, probably the connection to the computer has corroded or is otherwise disconnected. This isn't a very uncommon...

i had the same problem with a 305 i was working on. by turning it over using the centre bolt on the balencer, all i was doing was tightening the bolt. What I did instead was got under the vehicle and...

i think the only way to get something like that to happen is to buy an electric pump with reverse flow. If you think about it, with a belt driven pump, there's no way to set up any size belt to...

There's a couple things to look for with this problem:

1. Check your ground from the engine to the battery first. If the wire looks crappy, corroded, or otherwise chewed up, replace it with a 2...

Perhaps the door that allows the hot air from the heater core isn't opening to allow hot air into the vents?
What kind of car are you working on? This could be a mechanical, or vacuum problem...

it's pretty much the same as an exploder. except with GM models, you'll need a T50 or T55 Torx bit instead of a 13mm socket to remove the caliper bolts. The bolts are inside those little pieces of...

go buy a hayne's manual for your car, it should guide you through it with no problems

An engine upgrade on that car is not as hard as you think!
You have to remember, later 350s are all chevy small blocks, these are the same blocks as 305s. And 305s/307s were a common option on your...

if you're gonna drop in a new engine, why not go bigger?
You could easily go to a 305, 307 or a chevy 350 with very little extra work. There's no point in trying to hop up a 3.8 if you can get a...

this question goes out to any fellow tech's who can help me here:
my buddy recently blew up his 3.8 in his lesabre, and we're changing motors.
the problem is that since one of the rods are busted,...

You could have a weak battery. Extreme temperatures wreak havoc on older batteries. Not to mention that heat naturally increases electrical resistance in any conductor. Most large chain part stores...

you wont be able to find a kit with all that stuff in it. every good kit i've seen comes with seal, gaskets, and clutches. The steels, bands, bushings, modulator, and any other hard parts must be...

I don't believe that a loose gas cap would cause this problem. Even on brand new cars, the check engine light will come on, but almost never causes drivability problems.
This really sounds like a...

I had a very similar problem with the trunk on my ford. Driving down the road, or when the stereo was really loud, it would just fly open, it actually got me into an accident! I replaced every part...

This is kind of a tough one, due to the fact that engine noises are hard to diagnose over the net. What might be a knock or ping to you, could be a tick to me.
However, I can give you a couple...

You probably have a TH200 or 200-r4 in that car, and i know for sure that there is no band adjustment on that transmission. What I would do is take it for a drive, if you can, and see if that makes a...

I may not be able to offer much insight into the timing problems you're having, but it sounds like the carb might be in need of a rebuild.
Popping (backfiring?), and hesistating could be the...

it is almost impossible to install a serpentine belt incorrectly, i would have to say that you need to remove the motor mount to get to the belt.
This isn't a huge deal, usually you can support the...

it probably just rolled over like any other odometer would. The electronic odometer in my cougar rolls over at 250,000 KM.
don't worry about it and always rememeber to add 200,000 to what your odo....

1stly, you didn't say what kind of engine you're working on, so im going to assume it's a 3.8.
The crank pulley/balencer pulley isn't a big deal, you should be able to rent or buy one from someplace...

i suspect that your fuel pump may no be supplying enough pressure to run the engine. The only way to check that is to buy or rent a fuel pressure guage or take it to a shop.
it's hard to diagnose a...

iddie, i bought one of the hoisting plates from Mac Tools, the ones that bolt on to the intake manifold. They work perfectly fine and don't stress anything. The one thing you need to make sure of is...

It could also be that the input shaft isn't sitting just right in the pilot bearing and is binding, or that the clutch assembly moved while you were bolting it on the flywheel. This happened to me...
