94 c2500 burb, 489 stroker
Yeah stock seat risers and tracks, Corbeau has a surprizingly huge list of mounts to suit stock risers and tracks, drivers side is still power, I just had to re-locate the controls from the front of the seat t the plastic side covers- 489burb

How it sits now, installed a holley crank trigger, had to space my accessories out 3/16", built brackets for my valve covers to hold AMP coil packs, pulled the fast throttle body apart to make sure it wasn't damaged and trace/label the wires for the future megasquirt ECU, mostly finished...- 489burb

94 c2500 burb, 489 stroker
Truck was done and running well besides burning plug wires, got corbeau racing seats and was staring to do sound deadening and new carpets when I had an engine fire, ignition lead must have been nicked. Managed to put it out (keep a fire extinguisher in your garage) but it melted allot of wiring.- 489burb

lowering kit going in and body work, front end was easy, back end, not so much, no kit for a 3/4ton burb so front end is for a 1ton truck, and back end is for a 1/2ton burb, frame holes didn't line up, shackles hit the floor so I had to cut holes, worked in the end- 489burb

502 swap in my 1996 C3500
the crate kits rarely come with a forged bottom end, although if your shooting for less than ~550hp you don't really need to go forged. I opted to do a stroker 489 on mine, lots of sidewall left with only a 0.03 bore, the 496 makes the sidewalls a little thin with the 0.06bore. If you don't want...- 489burb

My 97 3/4 ton 454... anything else i need or should do ?
try LMC truck for the grille, headlights, signals, tail lights etc. Lots of options, stock or different styles and easy to add the little extras you'll otherwise forget, LED bulbs to fit aftermarket markers etc -
Experience with this crate engine company?
doesn't say if the blocks are 2 bolt or 4 bolt mains, doesn't say what the crank is, doesn't say what the cam is, doesn't say what the pistons/rods are, doesn't give any info an anything, has stamped steel rockers, hell, these could be 150hp dogs and completely useless in anything this is what...- 489burb

TBI to aftermarket EFI
yeah I wasn't sure how everything worked with the stock ECU so I left it, didn't want check engine light, or limp mode ect, the shop that finished it for me couldn't get the stock ECU to properly control the tranny without the standard engine inputs so had to go aftermarket which was the biggest...- 489burb
