    15" drag race (looking) wheels for a C1500

    I've been looking all over for a set of reasonably priced 15" drag race (looking) wheels for my C1500. I do not want steel wheels and I do not want to spend the cash on Billet Specialties, Weld Wheels, etc. I've seen a few knock off wheels that I likes, but hard to find them in a 5x5 bolt...

    5.7 connecting rods

    Long story short, I have a fresh '98 355 in my '96 c1500 that seems to have a bent rod. She was knocking pretty hard, so I pulled the engine and drained the oil. The oil looked like chocolate milk. I don't know how the engine got water in it, but it was there. The engine is back at the...

    what rpms is a stock vortec 350 good for?

    What is the rpm range on a stock vortec 350? I know that the black box won't let you go past 6000rpms, but a stock 350 vortec isn't making power up there either. So what kind of rpms would a stock 350 with a 3.42 rear gear be turning cruising along at 30 mph? I'm looking at cams in the...

    I think I need to lower my compression

    I am running a 355 with flat tops. This was going into another project that had 76cc heads on it. Now I want to put on a set of reman vortec 350 heads and use it in my '96. Gas in our area is rated at 87, 89 with 10% ethanol blend, and 91. I always run the 89 because it is the cheapest. With...
