Hi guys,
Got a 00' k2500 ccsb 5.7L with 190000 miles on it. Ran ok but recently started stumbling on idle when in gear. Always wanted a little more balls out of this thing. Head gasket on passenger side is blown. That would explain my stumble. SOOOO the question is do I slap a head gasket on it. OR get a new blueprint 383 that's a drop in, do a 411 swap and get it tuned. The 4L80e shifts great and never had any issues so I'm not to worried about that. Anyone ever had any experience doing the blueprint 383? Don't have the timeframe to go through a machine shop (one that I trust the one I do trust is almost 2 years out ) around me to build my own 383. Looking for some thoughts. The tuner around me told me they cannot tune the old black box so the 411 seems to make sense to me and looks rather simple just time and attention and has been beat to death on here.
