    90 truck with 86-87 Corvette engine

    So I've come across another dilemma in my mind. I'm wondering if I could use the factory Corvette distributor that came with the motor instead of switching out with my 305 distributor. If I can wire it in and make it work I will. Or if it's best to go with my original dizzy then I'll do that...

    90 TBI to Tpi swap

    The engine blew a head gasket. I have a L98 with aluminum heads that is factory Tpi. Just curious of what I'd have to do. I'm planning to swap my TBI intake onto it for now and maybe do the TPI later. I know about the bolt holes and that's no problem along with sensors.

    1990 c2500 305tbi 3l80. Watery oil left in engine.

    The guy I bought it from inherited a huge supply of C4 Corvette parts. Literally thousands of parts. He had a few L98s for sale but they've been sitting for years out of the cars. After talking with him about the rusty journals on the 350 he agreed to swap me out for another and hopefully it's...

    I was trying to be short but it's the head gasket. Clearly it's tore apart in the pics. But I have a 350 that I was gonna use as a replacement but when changing out the water pump I discovered that the water journals are slap full of rust. What can I do about that without tearing the motor down...

    Well if rebuilding is what I should do then I'll probably just rebuild the 350 I have that's already out of the truck. I bought it to swap out but it's slap full of rust through the journals and idk what to do other than rebuild

    My truck overheated and blew a gasket. My question is since it's been sitting a year with that water still in it, does that mean I should rebuild or would head and intake gaskets be good enough? Water jackets aren't rusted or anything but my concern is the bearings and them getting rusted and...

    90 TBI to Tpi swap

    My 1990 c2500 with 305/3l80 trans has took a ****. Was gonna replace with a 5.7 tpi engine (14093638) out of a Corvette. It's has the aluminum heads also which I've read I wouldn't be able to use my accessory brackets. I have the Vette harness and can get the ECM to match. Is converting the...
