    Southern New Englander looking for a head

    I am located in S/E Connecticut....by Norwich. I assume the Attleboro you speak of is the one in MA? At any rate a local junk yard got one in for me from out of state. Had it checked out(pressure tested/magnafluxed and all was well. I bolted everything back up and she runs great now.

    4.3 TBI timing marks on the Balancer

    Thanks for your responses and excuse sarcasm/surly remark.....just running impatient. I'm thinking now, after having rechecked the timing today that my balancer must have slipped. setting my timing to zero causes my truck to stall....advancing it completely off the timing tab by about an...

    4.3 TBI timing marks on the Balancer

    Maybe I'm just asking the wrong question to all you experienced GMT owners. Maybe this is more your speed. What color floor mats best compliments my hair

    4.3 TBI timing marks on the Balancer

    ....and while I'm at it.....the sticker on my fan shroud is calling for 0* BTDC.....are any of you guys adding some timing like 4*-8* BTDC and getting favorable results like I am.

    4.3 TBI timing marks on the Balancer

    '94 K1500 I'm seeing 2 timing marks on my balancer. I saw a youtube video calling attention to this and advising to use the second or trailing mark(as you turn the crank clockwise) to set your timing and to find TDC. Didn't see this mentioned in my Haynes manual Is this correct?

    LB4 and L35 motor to trans bolt pattern

    From WIKI...... 1996, GM introduced a redesigned 4L60E transmission case that incorporated a bolt-on bell (2 piece case, bell and case) housing and an 6 bolt tail housing. This 2 piece case style was first seen in 1996 and up model S-10 Blazer, S-10 Truck, GMC Jimmy, and GMC Sonoma with the...

    LB4 and L35 motor to trans bolt pattern

    Interesting.....the RPO code for the '94 calls for a 4L60E.....but it is clearly a different transmission than the 4L60E in the '97.....does anybody have any insight into this? Thanks Chuck

    LB4 and L35 motor to trans bolt pattern

    Now I'm confused.... I assumed the inspection cover on the '94's transmission made it a 700R4 as it has the same motor to trans bolt pattern as say a TH350 the '97 motor and trans had access to the flexplate to converters bolts after removing the starter. Thus making the tranny a full bell...

    LB4 and L35 motor to trans bolt pattern

    '94 has a 700R4 tranny (Partial bell housing) and the '97 has a 4L60E(full bell housing) Access to converter to flex plate is done after removing the starter

    LB4 and L35 motor to trans bolt pattern

    In the middle of doing a motor swap of these two and discovered that the motor to trans bolt patterns are not the same on these two motors. Is the only was around this to swap the transmission as well. Other question I have is how do you unbolt the flex plate from the torque converter...

    '97 4.3 vortec into a '94 non vortec truck

    Not that I enjoy answering my own questions , maybe however a future "search" may help somebody out...... but it looks like the LB4 and L35 shortblock(cam specs however may be different) and interchangeable as they both use the same head gasket.

    '97 4.3 vortec into a '94 non vortec truck

    Never mind.....looks like LB4 already has a balance shaft

    '97 4.3 vortec into a '94 non vortec truck

    ....or will the balance shaft on the L35 shortblock prevent me from getting the Lb4 intake to drop into position?
