Swap 5.7 vortec in Jeep CJ7
I have a 0411 from him that I never used. I lost the paperwork/email that showed the pinout. It needs the 4l80E deleted. I;m running a TH400 in the jeep. I don't have the part of the harness that has the OBD2 port. Is there a workaround?- silver97

Swap 5.7 vortec in Jeep CJ7
I have a complete 5.7 with ecm and engine wiring harness from a 97 truck that I want to swap into a jeep CJ 7. I do not have the interior harness. Which wires do I have to connect to get it to run? Does anyone know or can point me in the right direction to run this engine in a stand alone...- silver97

max torque and fuel mileage from a 454
I am shooting for 15 mpg on the highway. I was planning on using Gibson headers with a aftermarket muffler. Also improvements in the airflow and fuel delivery. I was thinking of a good torque producing camshaft, 36lb injectors, and mild port work on the heads. Lastly, tuning the 411 pcm to...- silver97

max torque and fuel mileage from a 454
Building a 97 l29 454 for my suburban that has a nv4500, 3.73 gears and 31 inch tires. So I am looking for the best highway mileage and torque with this build. What recommendations do you guys have for cams, fuel injectors, machine work to the heads, tunes, and anything else.- silver97

99 Suburban LT K1500 - Slow build
Excellent looking suburban. I have a 1997 K2500 suburban that I am working on. Three years ago my 4l80e toasted and I swapped in a Nv4500 5 speed. Just picked up a donor suburban with a 454. Going to rebuild it and swap in next summer. Can you elaborate how you removed the trim on the sides of...- silver97

L31 350 to (L21 or L29) 454
I want to say you will have to use the 454/4l80e harness you have for question 2. Question 3... Any 4l80e should work as long as the splines and transfer case will marry and has a place for all the connectors. I think as long as you got a 96 and up trans you will be ok. Question 4. No adapter...- silver97

Time for a SAS!
I have a Ford Dana 60 in my garage and was thinking about converting my k2500 suburban to a front solid axle. I changed my mind though. The cost to regear and rebuild the axle plus all the suspension/steering parts is too much. I only drive mine on the beach in the outer banks anyway. I am...- silver97

sbc 400 in a 97 suburban
Yeah I ditched the sbc 400 idea. Without a roller cam, I don't think the 400 would make the torque and horsepower at lower rpms. The thicker harmonic balancer also had me worried. I will build a 383 or do a 6.0 liter swap. I like the stroker kits that Texas Speed sells for the 6.0!- silver97

sbc 400 in a 97 suburban
I don't want my truck to be down for more than a weekend or two, so i would need to have the new longblock on the stand ready to go. I called 3 machine shops in the area, Two were backed up with race engines and told me to buy a crate motor. The last one wants to assemble the short block which...- silver97

sbc 400 in a 97 suburban
No apologies needed. I learn something new on every post. I have only built a couple of carbed motors so I am like a sponge trying to soak up info. The reason I am asking about this 400 is that it does not need a rebuild and is basically free to me. It looks that there isn't any benefit power...- silver97

sbc 400 in a 97 suburban
No electric fans for me. I am wanting to do this upgrade for better towing. I just recently installed the hd radiator, waterpump and fan clutch. My L31 has 248,000 miles is a little tired and is leaking oil. My friend has offered his sbc 400 to me and i would like to make it work if it doesn't...- silver97
