    Pcv valve troubles

    Yeah but wouldn’t it actually be better since the engine wouldn’t be pulling air from the metered air through to the other side. Dosent it work like a circle coming in one side and venting to the other side making a circle.

    383 balancing puzzle

    The vortec timing cover extrudes in the front a bit to fit the sensor. The old damper has a weight in it that sticks towards the engine further than the damper itself. A vortec damper is made for that extrusion and extra length out. I shimmed the cam position trigger wheel or whatever and it...

    Pcv valve troubles

    So I have a 383 I’m about to put in my 98. I bought it with valve covers that have two breathers on one side and nothing on the other. I plan on adding a hole for my Pcv on the drivers side where nothing is at and probably a catch can before the intake. What I’m curious about is if I should...

    What torque converter should I pick

    I have a 98 k2500 I’m putting a 383 in. The cam in the motor has the specs as listed in the picture below. What stall should I use it says the operating range on it on their website is 2500-6500 I was thinking 3000 stall speed is that about right or not

    I just bought a 383 and need help.

    Do you know how that would work with me having a factory fuel injected pickup? Would the computer be upset and transmission shift right?

    Alright guys so I just bought a 383 and need some help before I put it in. It’s an old style block with vortec heads and a very big flat tappet camshaft. Now he ran a carbureted motor but I will be going fuel injected with the intake off of my 99. So here are my questions 1. He had said...

    Should I swap a 383?

    Yes but my local shop is very expensive and I’m sure it would end up costing more

    Should I swap a 383?

    I stirred up quite a bit of controversy. Firstly it struggles with semi heavy loads, 20k would be my max. I don’t have cop issues in my area. I’m in a very rural area pulling cows to pasture. I have guys around me pulling goosenecks with full loads of 14 bales. I’m a farmer. I just wanted to...

    Should I swap a 383?

    Sounds good tuning is definitely the next step, just thought if a 383 was gonna be better I would start the process with it instead of doing it twice. I’m trying to pull cattle in a stock trailer and other loads 20k max
