    92 C1500 Swapping to L31 350 Vortec Coolant Bypass Question

    I'm in the midst of swapping a carbed L31 Vortec 350 into my 92 C1500. It currently has a L05 350 TBI. The L31 Long block that I have does not have the coolant bypass on the passenger side where the water pump mates up. I plan to use my stock TBI accessories, including the water pump. How...

    Which one would sound better, and/or have better performance?

    My exhaust is rotted out on my truck right now. I have the stock manifolds. 2.5" pipe into an H pipe (no cats), and two single chamber flowmaster knock offs like the flow 10s with it dumped right after that. Well they are so rotten that they have a fist size hole in the back of each muffler...

    Mild 350 TBI Build Advice/Suggestions

    I've been lurking this site, and others for a while just gathering info. I have a 92 C1500 350 TBI 5 speed, and the engine is getting a little tired. I'm mulling over ideas for a replacement. As much as I'd love to do a 5.3 or 6.0 LS swap, I really don't think I can get it done as cheap as...

    Chatter coming from NV3500 5 speed

    I have a 92 C1500 with a 350 TBI and NV3500 (Which I believe to be the HM290/5LM60 from the 88-92 and not the 93+ NV3500) transmission. Truck was originally an auto, swapped to manual , not by me by previous owner. I've owned the truck a little over 3 years now. The clutch has been replaced once...
