So I thought I would post a new pic of my new to me Chevy. 05 Colorado 4 in lift 33s led projector headlights, chipped,intake, custom exhaust, custom built bumpers and rack, tail lights and third brake are smoked. I was told by the current owner of Victoria he would sell it to me for $1500...
Well quick update since I forgot all about this.
Ended up trading the truck straight across for my dream vehicle a 83 Bronco with a perfect body 351W C6. I was able to drive the chevy as is to the guys place. Actually the guy ended up selling it and it is right next door to the guy I bought it...
Found out why I was backfiring, missing, and only would move in 4 low. A wire to one of the injectors were melted fixed it sorta and now it runs decent. Still needs a tune up but going to still rebuild the engine as it is knocking a bit still.
was able to use her to push my brother's 91 F150...
Found a flow rating:
187 heads: 165 intake with 1.84" valve and 140 exh with 1.50" valve
193 heads: 178 intake with 1.94" valve and 146 exh with 1.5" valve.
Looks like the 187s flow way less.
I can see why my buddies dad put them on this truck thinking higher compression better HP but didn't...
ya see that is the part I am worried about is the flow being to little.
I am also worried that those heads are the reason for it running like it is currently (backfiring when reving it up, bogs down and won't move unless I put the truck in 4 low.
I know the valves in the 187s are smaller then...
Hi everybody I have a 89 K2500 4x4 350 TBI with a TH400 ECLB truck that I am rebuilding and right now trying to make a decision on the engine build.
I know vortec or aftermarket heads would be the best but I don't have the money to do the vortec swap.
I just looked at the casting number of the...
Well deal fell through on the half ton so going to go with just about the same plans. Starting to save money for the engine rebuild setting a $2K build.
So far my plan for the engine rebuild is:
12-249-9 cam
tbi heads with some clean up with my dremel (supposedly the TBI heads have good torque...
Well decided not to sell her but plans may be changing.
If I can I am going to pick up a 89ish Chevy 1500 4x4 reg cab short bed with no engine trans or t case and I will swap my engine trans and tcase in that truck. I will rebuild my engine, lift it with 35s, gun metal gray with spray in liner...
Put new tires on my ford and now she has a couple issues that I need to fix and I may have to sell this truck (the chevy). Not sure yet have a lot going on in my head with so many issues today.
Do the 2500s sit as high as the 1500s?
If so I will do a 6" with 35s. We had a 2002 F250 4x4 CCSB stock height and I liked the height with 295 75 16s.
I don't know I am back and forth on the size lift and tires.
Thanks,
Tried to get to a compression check but the fuel pump is staying on even after the relay and fuse is pulled. Thinking somebody bypassed it to stay on.
Got to get to the bottom of that.
Thinking I am going to just pull the engine and 383 stroke it with some upgrades. I disconnected the...
thanks that truck looks pretty good even though I don't like the NBS. How much offset is your wheels I like the look not to much but just enough.
Still trying to get time to do a compression check been a crazy week.
Did fire up the truck again to watch the Oil pressure. Sits at 20 psi when...
