305 vortec swap to 350 vortec

[sniderman]

I have a 98 GMC 1500 that had a 305 vortec and I installed a new 350 vortec long block,I used my old intake ,computer ,sensors,&wireing.its running fairly good.but has a little hesitation.no codes are showing up. Is there anything that needs to be changed.


Thanks for any help SNIDERMAN..........

Chip and maybe center injector. The Fuel trims likely just can't keep up with the 350. Its likely running lean most of the time but not so much that the PCM senses a big problem.

Timing is likely also another issue where the 305 and 350 are different.

Calibration of the chip as mentioned is more than likely part of the fix.

Unfortunately neither am I. It's OBD2, I know very little about those systems as a whole.

I know a lot about the function of the systems but little about the specifics on that model. www.fullsizechevy.com has lots of guys with that body style truck. Someone there should be able to help you out better.

gm dealer to re flash the computer most likly. and the timing is not like other old stlye setups. you need to have a scanner to set the timing. you need to watch for a set point in the read out and turn the distributer till it hits that point and lock it down. hope this helps ya. good luck.

The point where the crank reference signal indicates #1 cylinder. Its a good point that GM dealer should be able to flash to the 350 setup.

Just get a complete PCM from a junk yard. I paid 65 bucks for one out of a 96. This would be much cheaper then having someone re-flash it. Then you really need new injectors and they can be pricey!
