About a month after I worked the kinks out of the new transmission (from GM) I threw a rod in my 96’ k3500’s 454. Shopping for a new power plant I am having a hard time investing in a motor that has just never blown me away. Rebuilding quotes are close enough to reman crate quotes that it’s become a bit of question. I LOVE the TBI in my 94’ c3500hd and the 6.5 in the recently purchased 99’ c3500HD. They both tow very smoothly without as much pedal work if that makes sense.
These are 100% work/tow trucks, with 90% of the towing done in-town at 35mph and under. I do a little highway towing and would do more if the trucks liked being loaded and going 70 more.
Monthly maintenance and $$ invested for swap aside (I’ve already hitched myself to this clean, California body/frame and transmission lol) - what would be your recommendations or thoughts on repowering this truck?
