    4l60e TQ and HP Question

    I understand all the adjustments and checking all that. I just mean, do I got to worry about anything like, bearings or shims, or any of that junk while I’m in there? Like a “I’m already in here so might as well do this” type deal, I’ve never personally taken one apart and rebuilt it. And IMHO...

    4l60e TQ and HP Question

    When swapping these to 4.56. Can I just do ring and pinion or do I have to worry about anything else? Can I just buy the ring and pinion set for $120 and do it on a lift in an hour or so?

    It’s whatever the stock 95 k1500 short wheelbase is. It is 4x4.

    4l60e TQ and HP Question

    most of my romps would be in the 2000-4000 range, the torque rang it is built completely and has about 5k miles max, brand new front to back. I’m hoping it is good, paid $2500 for it.

    4l60e TQ and HP Question

    I am the guy with the 4l60e and Holley electric choke carb adapter for the TPS :)) lol I have this trans in my 95 K1500 short wheelbase single cab. Has 33’s and it’s leveled with torsion bars. We broke it twice before getting it fully rebuilt and gone through by a local guy near us “Reagin...

    Top end build worth it?

    So I’ve found a new cam for sale on marketplace. It is a flat tappet.. but it is $150 new lol sooo, I’m willing to take the risk, I’m thinking I could just do a small cam swap with my intake and carb I got now? How hard is just a cam swap? Do I need different push rods, rockers or springs or...

    Top end build worth it?

    I’ve seen a couple flat tappet builds last years, a friend of mine and his dad both have 94 single cab, and 96 extended cab, both flat tappet builds, so far 5+ years going strong. Inform me? I’m curious now.

    Top end build worth it?

    I know some friends. $250 for heads, $180 for intake, already have carb. Cam n lifters about $250. So I exaggerated, about $700. Also it’s not an exact time frame of when I’d be pulling the motor to build it, but that is a good point, I’m just anxious to do something!!! I’m 99% sure my block...

    Top end build worth it?

    first and foremost I’m not a tbi guy lol I ditched my tbi for an old school carb swap for my own personal preferences! Yes I used a 4l60e carb TPS sensor mounting setup for the trans, but that’s besides the point!! Anyways lol I’m sorta new to building motors so I need some insight. I’m...

    High mileage upgrades?

    You don't need it, you can utilize the stock PCM to control the trans.

    5.3/6.0 dyno results

    Dang son, that 355 putting down some good power. I have never done an LS swap or anything but I do know that it's a really popular swap in the OBS world. I would do the 383 because I too am a huge SBC fan. Plus a 383 built right can make all the power you'll want. LS of course could make more...

    TBI TO CARB CONVERSION

    I was just explaining how to do a TBI to carb swap if he needed some information, not explaining his issue.

    High mileage upgrades?

    Right, it is not logical lol but my preference. If I could learn about MPFI and do quick work with it in my home shop then I'd be inclined, but I don't want to drop $1500 on the self learning EFI kits with the handheld tuner. edit: also I didn't know they came with rollers, I have never worked...
