    Hesitating and stumbling

    So I recently dropped a 350 from a 78 corvette into my 88 c1500. Drove the truck from New York to Indiana with a few issues along the way. One being I laid a spark plug wire on my headers by accident and melted it. I put another plug wire from my old set back on and it seemed to do ok for the...

    Ok there was just one on the other block but I’m pretty sure it broke pulling it out so it needs replaced. It hasn’t been a very bad swap so far just some odds and ends need buttoned up.

    The knock sensor I’ve got hanging right now bc I need a new one. How it was functioning in the condition it’s in is beyond me. But out of curiosity (and this is bc I’m not around it to look right now) would there be a spot for the knock sensor in this older block?

    To be clear this was my first engine swap. I generally wouldn’t have done something like this on my own but I had driven the truck 900 miles to deliver my exes possessions and the other engine threw a rod and burned a valve so I went with what I though would be cheaper and found an engine a guy...

    I don’t know that it does. I didn’t really look for one bc I thought I was going to plug and play when I did the engine swap and everything that I looked up doesn’t show a knock sensor on one until 1982

    I found an Edelbrock performer intake 2101 that would fit my heads. I’m on a budget or I would love to use the zz4 intake. I’m hoping to use the 2101 with the adapter plate but my only question would be what is the best way to somewhat restrict the coolant flow to the heater core since I...

    That’s what I’ll probably do. The only other issue I have is routing the heater hose. I don’t remember seeing a port for the heater hose on the intake I was suggested to use.

    Yes that’s what I am running. I’ve still got the electronic spark control and factory computer. O2 sensors still in as well. Edelbrock gave me the 2104 number which is why I asked if I needed the egr valve bc the 3704 id still have to drill out the center holes and I was thinking about maybe...

    EGR help

    I just recently put a new to me engine out of a 78 corvette into my 88 C1500. Truck has shorty headers no cats and dual exhaust with glasspacks and is running the original TBI setup from the factory. My intake had been modified to fit the engine that was in it last which I believe was out of an...
