    Vortec swap in 87

    I built a 383 stroker for my 97 and decided to ditch that project. Im going to put that engine in my 87 k10. I know it's not a gmt400 but from what i understand it's the same as all the other tbi trucks. So I've read a lot of threads about this swap and I'm pretty settled on what I'm going to...

    tpi vortec cost?

    Thanks for the info, I couldn't find anything as far as a write up for the swap. I'll check that link. I knew I would have to do the injector wiring. Bit if I can do it for as much or a little more than the marine I'll be happy because there's really no performance gain from the marine as far as...

    tpi vortec cost?

    A few other questions. Will the stock runners be enough for a 383 or should I go with SLP siamesed runners? What year camero would I need to get the intake off of(maf or speed density)? Should I take some of the working harness when I pull the intake? How would I hook up all the sensors for the...

    windage tray with stroker

    Will it hurt to leave it off? The ARP main studs aren't long enough to clear the rod bolts without them contacting the tray. This is the only engine I have built with a windage tray so I doubt it is a necessity seeing as we have high horsepower motors without them. What is the function of it?

    1998 Z71 Ext Cab Daily Driver Build sugestions Please Help.

    thanks. you can fit them with crank only, and the 2-3 inch is just an over priced t-bar crank really.

    1998 Z71 Ext Cab Daily Driver Build sugestions Please Help.

    i had 315's on mine with just a crank and i bought shocks for a 2-3 lift to make it ride better. doesnt rub after a little trimming on the edges of the lower valance. i think this route looks best but i like the stuffed tire look. my sig has pics of the set up.

    new engine build need suggestions

    Those torque numbers look good, hp seems a bit low but the only thing that concerns me is the torque peaking at 2000. Maybe i should bump up to the next size cam. How accurate are the rpm range numbers compared to an actual dyno

    Lock up converters

    Im not 100% sure but i think you start crusing around 60 and tap the breaks and if the rpms jump up you have a lock up and its functioning properly

    new engine build need suggestions

    i already have the higher lift heads from a motor i built last year, i thought with the higher lift and shorter duration it would preform better. and with the extra 33 cubes it would act a little milder than it is described.
