    305 vortec heads and factory intake on old block??

    It might not be the original engine in that 77 and i believe roller cams were 88. Check the casting #s to find out.

    Oil Filters with good anti-drainback valves?

    My last oil change was with the usual Wix filter that was made in USA I believe in Illinois. They also made the Bosch one, I think exactly the same as Wix/Napa Gold and I bought quite a few on Amazon, so look for that filter too while they are still out there.

    90 truck with 86-87 Corvette engine

    If you are not going TPI then stick with the truck's dizzy.

    Keep Manifolds or get shorties?

    Shorties help top end which matters more in Vortecs than TBI, but if you are doing the whole exhaust anyway might as well go for it.

    Has anyone used a Holley 2 Barrel on TBI adapter plate

    If you are going old school HEI/Carb just get an intake manifold from Edelbrock/Weiand/87-88 Monte SS and put a Holley 4 barrel on it.

    Big mother thumper cam in a 89 350 tbi, is it possible?

    I'm guessing he just wants the sound. I'd look at Isky cams, they have cams that lope but are mild.

    L98 into K1500--> HEADS?

    It's not a 113 head if it is an 87 and original. They had the 128 head, which flows less over the exhaust side, has factory guideplates. If they check out sell them to a Vette owner and buy aftermarket heads., unless you really want a GM al head then send them to Lingenfelter for porting and...

    LT1 2nd gen version power steering question

    You might look at what 94-96 Caprice used for lines.

    Fuel gauge issue, but very specific situation!

    Maybe you need the 98-00 gauge cluster?

    305 TBI Header (?)s

    A relative of mine had two good 305 TPI engines I could have had dirt cheap a few years ago, i did not get them because you know 305s but i wish I had as @L31MaxExpress said good 350's disappearing fast, and 305s/334s can be good runners for daily driven trucks.

    Chevy distributor cap condensation issues

    Do a search here for the UMP cap at RockAuto or look at the reviews at Summittracing, the Summitt cap is the same as the UMP one.

    Low Cost Camshaft Options - Need Opinions

    If it is a TBI engine with Vortec heads then yes Summitt 8800, basically a roller version of that old Melling RV cam.

    Ignition control module

    Did you change your rotor? That was my problem with that code. Also I have had bad Delphi/Delco parts but Standard seems to be good, could just be dumb luck though.

    Head Swap Options For 5.7L 350 TBI Engine

    Ya sure but I believe he is talking stock heads not Mexican Vortecs so no real difference. I still think his best bet buy new heads either Jegs Vortecs which are less $ than the GM Mexican ones, or Trick Flow 87-95 heads and no worries about changing intakes/water pump but obviously cost more...

    Head Swap Options For 5.7L 350 TBI Engine

    906 and 062 are the same head anyway so no problem there, I think the difference in casting #s is two different plants.

    Are United Motor Products distributors adjustable for Cam Retard?

    You need the GM hold down to adjust it, and the code doesn't pop up unless it is +-13 I believe. My UMP ran better with a Standard cap, though I didn't have their better cap.

    880 vortec blocks, what pistons?

    You can buy a ZZ short block but it is like 4k.

    Need assistance!! Please, any input is welcome...

    I think he just needs the stock adjustable hold down, that UMP one comes with a non adjustable clamp.

    Head Swap Options For 5.7L 350 TBI Engine

    An option if you are worried about cash upfront is to buy the Edelbrock Performer Centerbolt heads with the Affirm app. Or both Jegs and Summit have the pay in four with PayPal. Dart and Trick Flow have 87-95 style available but mostly not in stock until Apr/May but Summit does show both 1...

    Head Swap Options For 5.7L 350 TBI Engine

    Sbc heads starting around 74 were thinner than those early muscle car heads. I have a set of 492's like 70 Vettes and Camaros had, with 2.02/1.6 valves that have been ported, definitely a heavier head than say Vortec/Tbi heads. But having said that both my 94 and 98 trucks have 200K miles on the...

    Used LT1 350 Camshaft Swap Into Truck Block w/Vortec Heads?

    Why not just sell the engine to a Camaro/Firebird owner, and install something like the Sum 8800 cam?

    Head Swap Options For 5.7L 350 TBI Engine

    Yes the Melling cam is a cheap upgrade over stock if you ate going with TPI or 350 Vortec heads. The Eddy cam according to it's designer who use to be an editor at CHP magazine said it was for those early 80s 305 engines, I also agree a single pattern cam would be better for TBI heads or 305...

    I remember you from the TGO and FSC boards and to take any power claims you make with a grain of salt, and that you love to argue. Having said that hey believe what ya want.
