GM/Chevrolet 5.7 350 TBI (Tappet Cam) - 1987-1995

Description

Starting in 1987, Chevy trucks came equipped with an option Throttle Body-Injected (TBI) GM/Chevy 350.

This new engine block was dubbed the L05, and it was available in some GM/Chevy C/R/K/V trucks, G/P vans, Suburbans, Blazers and select other models.

The truck-mounted L05 included a tappet camshaft, but models in passenger cars included one with a roller camshaft.

GM/Chevy trucks over 8500 pounds used the four-bolt main variant.

2-Bolt Chevy 350s

Two-bolt 1986 Chevy 350s were predominantly found in GM/Chevy’s line of trucks, Suburbans, and Jimmy’s.

They’re more common than their four-bolt counterparts. They’re sufficient for most applications, though high-powered builds may require a four-bolt engine.

4-Bolt Chevy 350s

Four-bolt 1986 350s were found in some of the larger trucks, vans, and Suburbans released that year.

Four-bolt engines are adequate for high-powered builds and can handle a torque of 11:1 and higher and vehicles with 400 or more horsepower.
