    305 Vortec to 335 stroker

    383 stroker will get you exactly what you want. But I nice 350 a slightly bigger cam with supporting mods can too. 305 would just end up costing you more and you'll be disappointed. I've found out the hard way.

    Turbocharging a TBI 350

    EBL flash was the last thing I did and that helps a ton, and I know it's better than chip burning

    Turbocharging a TBI 350

    The truck is still around with the vortec engine and has headers. I have a gt45 turbo set up that needs modifications to fit. It seems like if I'm not at work it is pouring rain and when you don't have a garage it makes it to hard to work on it. Plans haven't changed just delayed. Plus I had 4...

    Turbocharged 5.7 TBI

    So my question is what does it really take to swap in an LS engine? Looks like I have a lot of reading and research to do.

    Turbocharged 5.7 TBI

    Dang I never realized how much boost you could cram in one like that. Will probably go with a ls or 454 what ever falls in to my hands. I would like to just try the turbo small block just to see what it is like.

    Turbocharged 5.7 TBI

    I know that 700r4 would explode with the kind of power a turbo sbc would put out

    Turbocharged 5.7 TBI

    You very well have a point on keeping it simple I will gladly take your advice since I have little experience with either transmissions but those are after a biuld the 4 bolt main sbc I'm saving. For this setup I was thinking cheap temporary experiment with a small turbo to get me started and I...

    Turbocharged 5.7 TBI

    sounds like a good plan personally fuel injection has the most benefits. The end result of the truck hasn't been decided so the allison is still on the table for towing and a sequential turbo setup would probably be used. I like axle breaking torque so the more boost at a lower rpm the happier...

    Turbocharged 5.7 TBI

    Definitely let me know because after a couple years working the crap out of this engine I'm going to biuld the 4 bolt main engine in my garage with something like that.

    Turbocharged 5.7 TBI

    Well what I was looking to do is have the way for guys doing this on the cheap with a stock engine and fuel system with some relatively cheap up grades but if I had the money to blow well... Self learn efi installed like a carb conversion, E-tec heads, single plane intake, custom single turbo...

    Turbocharged 5.7 TBI

    Dang I have the factory 10 bolt 3.42 gear with the g80 locker it's been great so far and I get really good mileage right now I get 18+ when I keep my foot out of it. Night and day difference from all 3 of the previous engines. This engine will definitely get a turbo after I iron out a few things...

    Tbi Vortec swap ignition problems

    Yeah that's what has me puzzled because the cam was installed correctly, distributor was installed and set correctly, and it still acted like it was 180 out

    Tbi Vortec swap ignition problems

    Already have an external bypass. What doesn't make sense it back fired out the TB blew compression out the intake. It runs now thought but can anyone explain because it sounds like it was 180°

    Tbi Vortec swap ignition problems

    I eleminated the oil pump as part of the problem and it is a big block pump. turns out the dizzy had issues with the cap actually, the battery that was "good" only had 43% charge, and plugs that I left in where fouled.

    Jerking in overdrive?

    Possibly the TVCable needs adjusted I know that can effect things but not sure in this case
