    What's involved in swapping 305 ford w/cobra sx to chevy

    Re: What's involved in swapping 305 ford w/cobra sx to chevy The motors are complete, so it looks like he will only need bellhousing and coupler... He is in Miami so I am sure he will have no trouble finding what he needs. Good news, thanks for the help.

    New PCM's 350 install, where to put oil/tranny cooler

The only logical place...

    My trim/tilt sounds like it is passing air, goes up some and comes back down slowly after letting off the switch. I opened what i assumed was the fill hole but noticed it was 1/2 down the resevoir and fluid came out when I opened it. Is there a way to bleed these things? Thanks!
