    350 swap?

    I would do the ebl personally if it had a stick. Tunable with knock protection

    350 swap?

    You could also use elb flash with a tbi setup but it doesn't quite self tune like the sniper

    350 swap?

    The 350 will bolt right to your 4.3l transmission. I believe you will need the v8 mounts but I'm not sure

    Am I underpowered?

    Turbo an 8.8. When gm sold them to psi they stuck them in trucks and school busses. I believe they had forged cranks and pistons. I can find good core takeout that got replaced with a new crate motor cheeper than I can buy the parts to stroke an 8.1

    Another 454 Vortec Build Thread - Documenting, Q&A, Help

    I like a seat belt buzzer. Put it between the positive and the battery cable. If there is a drain it will buzz. With everything shut off hook it up. If it buzzes pull fuses until you find the circuit that is causing the issue. Leave that fuse out and replace the rest one at a time. If it buzzes...

    I need mental help!!! What should I do?

    I vote for a383 create motor and elb flash so you can tune it yourself to run to full potential. The 383 should have a ton of torque and be a fun ride. Nothing wrong with the ls but they lack torque down low. Fun in a toy with a loose converter but a pain for a driver. 383 and elb flash would be...

    Brake lines

    It's a portable air hoist. It's the second one I've had from old garages. The first would grab the bumper this one will reach under and lift from the axle or front suspension. It will only pick up one end but it lifts high enough to be able to work and do exhaust etc

    Brake lines

    Got the lines fixed and front brakes blead need to do the rear but it's got front brakes now. Fixed the coolant leaks replaced all the spring clamps. Got it off the hoist and fired up. I can hear a plug wire snapping, it's all wet under the hood from the rain. Wires should be fun the distributor...

    Building a stroker motor

    I know you can swing a 4 inch in a standard block but a reduced base circle cam is almost mandatory. I've got 350 blocks coming out my ears and the parts to do a 408 are only about another 400 bucks. Just kicking stuff around but I'd like to try it. Aftermarket block would be great but that...

    Building a stroker motor

    Looking at prices and there isn't much difference from 3.75 stroke to 4 inch. Anyone put a 4 inch crank in a 350 block?

    5.3 + manual swap

    I don't know why the 6.0 is so expensive. I can get 4.8 given to me but a healthy 6.0 in the truck i can't give away. I take that beck i can give it away but I can't get any money. Guys that know my truck will buy a 6.0 out of a junk yard and pay good money but offer me scrap price on a running...

    Brake lines

    I bought a 94 Buick roadmaster with the 5.7 lt1 cheep. Figured it would get about double the milage of my 99 suburban. Needed front brake line. Car looks good and nice inside but a little rusty. Got it up in the air with an air hoist that picks up one end. Line was broke between the...

    New Year's present to myself: a topside creeper

    Next on my list. Wish I'd had one when I did the heater t on firewall on my 8.1 suburban. Laying under the hood getting stabbed and cut by everything sharp in January shucked big time

    Engines 101

    Exhaust you mentioned should wake it up. 0411 swap and tuning it yourself I'm sure will bring out more. You can tune the 0411 with about 100 bucks worth of hardware and free software

    93 TBI To 97 Vortec

    If the 93 motor is set up with roller cam provisions you will be able to use it. If it's not drilled you can still use it but with a flat tappet cam. If I was buying pistons I would put flat tops in it. I can't see a reason that you would need to change pistons to do the swap. If the motor runs...

    Having trouble with a no-start 98 5.7 vortec

    Check the temp sensor. If it fails it reads 40 below and truck won't run. Cap and rotor i would change before pulling upper intake. That said it still kind of sounds like fuel but cap and rotor is easier than upper intake.

    305 vortec to 350 vortec

    That's a weird setup. Thought there was only one behind the y lol

    305 vortec to 350 vortec

    Sorry I was wrong. I thought they had a y pipe and 2 forward and 1 behind. Still learning

    305 vortec to 350 vortec

    You will need the harness. 305 used 3 o2 sensors and 350 used 4

    Y pipe differences

    Belive it or not I've always had much better luck with the smaller car clutch in the square body 4 speed 4x4 than the 11 out 12 inch clutch. Don't know why

    305 vortec heads and factory intake on old block??

    A 77 z28 should be a 350. 87 would likely be a 305. If you are using a 77 2 piece rear seal block you need the flex plate with it. An 87 would be a 1 piece rear seal and you could use the one from your truck. You'll need the vortec timing cover, balancer and crank reluctor. Use a holley timing...
