truck is running rough!?

[The big beast!]

I had to replace a push rod on my 95 tbi 350 because i broke one! so i got it in and put it all back together and the thing runs like **** now anyone know why?

Possible improperly adjusted valves? It could be a lot of thing's!

 

[The big beast!]

Ya! im thinking that, its got 380000 on it so i think i should just rebuild it already!

 

[DRAGGIN95]

Sound's like a good idea!

Any idea why the pushrod broke? May be a bent valve. Compression test woult probably be the easiest way to tell.

Does anyone know if I can use a 75 350 block for my tbi rebuild!

Yes you can, but you will have to use the entire short block as that is a 2 piece rear main seal engine and your's is a 1 piece, also you need to use it's balancer and flexplate. Also you will have to put a block off plate on the mechanical fuel pump mount.

Ok thanks! How hard was it to do the 6.0L swap in your truck?!

SUPER good info you might have saved him ton's of money guys we have a smart member here that knows his stuff. I would have given you more rep points but I need to spread more first.

Thank you to both of you, and honestly the 6.0 swap is not that difficult, you just have to plan it out, and not get in a rush.
