    454 marine engine into a vortex 454 truck?

    Ok, so long story short, can’t find a vortex 454 (96+) straight out of a truck to swap into mine (2000 K2500 454). However, lots of older boats, and marine 454’s. If I can find a Gen 6 marine 454, I believe all I would need to swap over is: front accessories, intake, fueling, exhaust manifolds...

    2000 K2500 8.1 Swap

    Starting this thread off with questions. Got a 2000 K2500, CCSB, 454 4l80 4WD W/ electric transfer case. I’m wanting to do a 8.1 swap, and keep it as OEM/factory as possible. How I plan to do this is use parts from 01-02 3500HD “classic” cab and chassis truck, as these few models came with...

    Gen 6 454 Questions

    2000 454 rough idle and acceleration while cold

    I’m stumped and hope someone can help. 2000 454 k2500, hard starting, will crank forever unless you give it some gas and it’ll stumble to start, but once it does it idles at 750-850 rpm (normal?) but seems to have a misfire and you can smell gas out the exhaust. While it’s still cold (100-120 on...

    2000 Classic K2500 LS swap

    So tried searching the forums and didn’t get much luck, got a 2000 Classic K2500, motors been drinking oil (454) and waiting for it to blow, but now the trans (4l80) is hard shifting, so I wanted to do a 6.0ls with 4l80, but I found a Allison trans with transfer case for $1k. Is the Allison...
