    Front and rear seal replace

    Before I install my engine I was thinking I will never have a better chance to change the front and rear seals than now. I found a you tube video on replacing the rear and it looks easy enough.

    TBI to carburetor

    Can a TBI engine be changed over to a carburetor engine by just adding a fuel pump and changing the intake? Not wanting to do this but someone tried to do it to a engine I just acquired. If it can be done other than what I just mentioned what else needs to be changed? Thanks

    gauge cluster interchange

    Will engines interchange?

    I have a 1988 c1500 with a 5.7 that needs an engine. Will a 5.7 from a 1992 caprice be a direct swap with no modifications? Also need to know if the transmissions will swap out. Both are 700r4's. Thanks

    1988 c1500 5.7 swap

    Hi, My name is Rob and I am kind of new to the truck world. I just purchased a 1988 silverado with a TBI 5.7 for $400. Sounds like a great deal but the reason the price is so cheap is it has a rod knocking. For now I just want to get the truck on the road until I save the money to rebuild the...
