Engine knocks when ambient temps around freezing or below

I once built a International scout 2 for a deerlease truck but it turned out so good I brought it home for regular trips around tx. When I started on the motor it was stuck from rust in a cylinder no 6 I think. I decided to just hone the pits out on that cylinder hone all the others and re-ring...

I did my 93ck1500 driver door with my engine hoist and also a floor jack. It was harder than i thought it would be. The bronze bushings i used were easy to break. I bought extras, i have three chevs. A 86 k5, a 91 k2500 burb, and the 93 ck1500 ext cab.

Vortec 350 w/ TBI retrofit - what cam?

I have a ramjet in a 86 k5 and it was a big job adapting the accesseries to the front. I have since gotten another ramjet complete setup to put on a vortec 355 4 bolt main logblock or a 400 79 sb with the vortec heads and still can't decide on how to use a serpentine setup with the ramjet...
