    GM Crate Engine

    I pull the core support. Gives me leg room and saves a guy's back a bit. Just preference though, not necessary. Personally I learned (the hard way) that my cherry picker will hit the top of my garage door if I try to lift the engine over the core support. Something to consider if you have a...

    383 vortec

    My apologies. Can't weigh in much on that. If I ever go past cam, springs and lifters I just order the full valve train kit from Comp. Had good luck so far. Looking forward to hearing about how this build wakes up your truck. Been thinking about building up one of my half tons for a while...

    I like those valve covers a lot by the way. Goes really well with the blue.

    383 vortec

    I just re-used my stock push rods and rocker arms. If you upgraded to 1.6 rockers your push rod length will likely change. I was trying to save some dollars where I could. At my power level and rpm range they'll be fine. But my power level will be much lower than yours and truck will rarely see...

    1994 GMC C/K 1500 6.0l lq4

    I like the matte black personally. But if you do paint then I like the blue.

    383 vortec

    Nice build though. Kinda wish I did a stroker but what I have will be plenty of engine for that little truck. Maybe in the future. Best of luck with the rest of the project. Edit, .020 over, not .20. My mistake. That would make one large small block ha.

    Five-0 Motorsports sells replacement injector spiders in stock or upgraded injector sizes. Used them for my Vortec 353 swap into my Sonoma ZR-2. Complete stock 24 LB replacement was quite reasonably priced and fine for my application (stock/mild rebuild, .20 over, 212/218 cam, minor head...

    How to Put a Vortec Motor in a TBI Truck

    Alright thanks everyone. Guess I'll find out for sure when I tear into buddy's core. Offered to build him a stroker or cammed 355 and just throw a carb on it and be done but he wants a daily driver. Carbed daily drivers plus Canadian winters equals no bueno on cold starts.

    How to Put a Vortec Motor in a TBI Truck

    Also, I was always of the belief that all TBI motors were roller blocks. I'm reading above this may not be so? Some blocks are roller and some are flat tappet?

    How to Put a Vortec Motor in a TBI Truck

    Thank you for your input. Exhaust, fuel pump, accessories, intake assembly etc. are not much of a concern. Mostly concerned about electrical. As I said I have literally every piece of a complete running drive train from a nice truck that was unfortunately side swiped. Just bought the write off...

    How to Put a Vortec Motor in a TBI Truck

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question. Could a guy swap a complete Vortec engine (intake, accessories/brackets, complete harness with black box pcm etc.) relatively easily? I guess my main questions are why swap to TBI intake manifold and will the stock Vortec harness plug into a TBI trucks...
