    305 died, time for a swap and found a 400

    But it's the intake I'm concerned, and don't know about.

    305 died, time for a swap and found a 400

    Vortec heads would work if you drill the steam hole that the 400 uses for cooling, but its got freshy machined heads with zero run time. I'm not sure of the year but it was in a 52 pickup till it was swapped out for a 302 ford and some mpgs. Only other thing I know of that is different off hand...

    305 died, time for a swap and found a 400

    So I have found a 400 small block and would like to put it in place of the 305 that spun a bearing at only 161 thousand miles. My biggest question is my truck is a '97 with vortec fuel injection, will that bolt over to the 400? And other than a custom tune to adjust the fuel supply what else...

    Do you think it can do it?

    My plan is to just outright buy a new truck in about a year and give my sister a damn good deal on this one. Here is a more recent picture of the truck and one of our current camper, it is about 4000 pounds dry and the truck handles it very well we just got back from a 300 mile round trip with...

    Thanks for all the replies I found http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthread.php?3501-Holiday-Rambler-Restore/page3 he says his 30 foot weighed 6000# so the 28 should weigh about the same. Here is a link to the craigslist post I found it in, for its age it seems almost mint...

    Do you think it can do it?

    I'm looking at getting a 28 foot Holiday Rambler travel trailer. Would be towing it with my 97 k1500 305, I do have trailer brakes and would get a weight distributing hitch if I get the trailer. Basically I would like some opinions on if you think this truck could handle it. After I graduate...

    It dies then I turn the key and it will come back to life (5 times in an hour)

    Ok so I let my mom drive my truck today, '97 305 vortec, and it stalled out in the drive when she was backing out, turned the key to off and restarted the truck just fine so I wrote it off. Within the next hour it did it 4 more times, and 2 times previously when I was driving it (but that was...

    Rough Country 2-3 inch suspension lift vs 4 inch suspension lift

    http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/4288005701.html Will this fit our trucks or would it require way to much fabrication?

    Rough Country 2-3 inch suspension lift vs 4 inch suspension lift

    http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/4339584682.html is this about the same as the rough country lift or any different? It doesn't seem that great of a deal but just wondering if it is the same type of lift or not??
  14. B

    Is it just me or is this a common problem?

    What would be the best type to get? I pissed off a guy in an F150 today because it was slick and I spun um in 2x4 so shifted to 4x4 and it took its time getting in so he went a roarin on by.
