I don't remember ever having a 350" 1/2 ton 1986 pick up through my shop. All 305" Q Jets. Only 350" I ever saw we're 3/4 ton or heavier. That must be a mistake. I have re-built a train load of Q Jets for those, all 1/2 tons I ever saw we're 305"s. 165 HP 350"? LOL

jump on in u/sa boys the water is fine... and bob shaws caddy will still cover the truck by over 1/2 second... and the truck looks stuck in u/sa (i can hide in t/sa when the caddy comes around )

anyway let me know where the first class race you all is going to so i can come and help you boys start loading that bed up with horsepower

at least i THINK i saw one of those once it wasnt just a paper production car er.. truck

jack

and since they no longer have seperate classes that 430 cam lift stuff is bull**** !!!!!!!!!!!

First post on here. This is the class I've been looking at for my El Camino. I guess an '80 with the 229 isn't a very good package.

What is the '86 1/2 ton 305" Q Jet pick up rated at?

k.pascoe · 06-12-2012, 04:02 PM

I think every one can read this it shows a 350 ci 165 hp.

Tom Moock · 06-12-2012, 05:59 PM

Rick Schilling, the truck 350 uses the same piston as 350 in camaro and malibu wagon 287hp,look under NHRA accepted products list for 1986 truck.

Rick Schilling · 06-12-2012, 07:11 PM

You are correct Tom. I was refering only to the 1986 model year.
