Jasper Engine
« on: April 23, 2011, 04:11:33 pm »
Looking at buying a 86 K10 with a low mile Jasper SBC. Owner says its a 350, but the Jasper Stock # is 305210. Nothing listed online anywhere on this. My intuition says 305ci 210hp. Any ideas?

They're closed for the weekend, I'll give them a call Monday. Just wanted to know exactly what engine and trans(also a Jasper) is in the truck before I commit to it. The Jasper receipts only say the stock and production #s

How's the body on the truck? What's he asking for it?

     As long as your capable to fix what is wrong, sounds like a real steal of a deal.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

That is a really good deal man frame is harder to fix than the motor.. I think whatever Jasper is in there you good to go they are a popular company.

Just a guess but I'd say if the guy put a lift kit on it he probably would has swapped it over to a 350 when the 305 got tired.

I take a 305 with a solid frame over a 350 with a bad one.. Go for it
