    Tbi to vortec heads

    But like I said, I'm keeping this simple, I'll just get whatever cam will work best with a stock set of vortec heads with minimal work.

    How do I know for sure I'm capable of a roller swap without tearing down the motor.

    Tbi to vortec heads

    I think I'm just going to get some decent vortec heads and freshen them up, vortec to carb intake and look for some roller parts and if I haven't found any for the right price by then, I'll just go flat tappet. Just play it by ear and save the cam for last. Once that's done, I'll get a tune and...

    Tbi to vortec heads

    Should I just start looking for a complete donor engine then? Just a vortec motor and pull the parts I need? Or should I try to find them separately? Heads from here, roller parts there, and just collect till I have everything I need. I'm not in a rush so if it's worth the wait and money to find...

    Tbi to vortec heads

    Is it really worth it for what my plans are? I'm not looking to get a cam that so aggressive I loose my brakes haha. The tbi can only handle about 5000 rpms right? I don't need a cam that makes all it's power in that range. Just something with a nice lope, and smooth gains throughout the curve...

    Anyone know where to get a kit with all the parts to go roller then? If it's easy and the motor can stay in without tearing down everything else I'm all ears if it's worth the cost.

    Tbi to vortec heads

    I agree that a full engine swap, top to bottom built would be the BEST way to go. But I'm looking for moderate gains out of a simple swap. Just bolt the parts on, get her data logged and tuned, then have a little fun out with my buddies in my ole "slow" heavy chevy haha. Then once she gives out...

    Tbi to vortec heads

    I know that the 87 up blocks have everything needed for the rollers but I was under the assumption that they weren't drilled or tapped but I could be completely wrong. If they are drilled and everything, what's involved with putting in the parts? Do I need to pull the motor to do this? Because...

    Tbi to vortec heads

    See I'm definitely not into doing an entire engine swap. That's just too much for what I have in mind. And she is already well maintained and running like she is supposed to from gm, these trucks are just pretty darn slow haha. I'm sure y'all already know haha. I am just planning on casually...

    Tbi to vortec heads

    And I definitely want to keep my stock brakes for now as well as not play with the transmission for the time being. And the cam will have to be flat because I simply can't afford to go roller at this point.

    Any help, shortcuts, tips, new findings, conflicting opinions, are all welcome. I am hear to get ideas and I'm all ears. This is just what seems to be the right path for me at this time.

    Tbi to vortec heads

    Ok so I have read, and read, and read, and read about this swap. This is what my situation is. I have a 95 Z71 tbi. It is an absolute dog when I put it to the floor. Sure she slings a lot of mud and never leaves me stranded in any hole I put her in. But ole bessy is just down right slow haha. I...

    A/C only blows hot

    Wow that's awesome. Thanks so much. Guess I know what I'm going to be trying this weekend.

    A/C only blows hot

    Thanks man, I didn't realize the temp settings were affected by a blend door as well. I'm sure that one of those is my problem then. I changed my entire AC system last summer. So if the door isn't receiving signal, it'd be due to faulty wiring somewhere between the hvac and the actuator...

    A/C only blows hot

    So yesterday my A/C was ice cold thanks basically replacing everything last summer. But today after running the heater on defroster for about 5 minutes this morning, it only blows hot air. When I switch to heat, it gets warmer but it's still freaking hot when the hvac is all the way cold. And...
