    Smallest factory fuel tank that came on an OBS truck.

    I'm in the same boat, I have an older square body K5 tank in the yard that I think I can make fit in the back between the frame rails once I remove the spare tire carrier. Getting the filler neck to work will be a small hurdle but will no doubt be doable. I wanted to go this route to get the...

    I prefer the TBI since you can run a normal water pump.

    How to Put a Vortec Motor in a TBI Truck

    Another difference is the roller cam plate on the front. My TBI motor had these provisions and used a different sized plate than the one I had from my Vortec block. There was only 2 sizes if I recall so it's easy to tell which one you need.

    95 tbi to vortec build

    The best is to drill the bypass hole in the passengers side head, run your standard TBI pump on the TBI block that will keep the bypass working. This way you can keep your heat diverter valve, just need to plug the bypass in the intake.

    Hey I don't know if anyone told you yet but those wire nuts ... WTF?! Also like L31MaxExpress said, that intake appears to have had those bolt holes slotted for some reason.
