    454 swap? What does it entail?

    I have a lead on a 454 with 156k that I can get for 400$. 700$ with fuel system. It is a 97 vortec 454. My truck is a 1990 single cab short bed 350 with a 5 speed manual. What does a 454 swap entail? I would like to keep the EFI as I only planing on running a mild cam. Will it bolt up to my 5...

    Good cam specs for build?

    Yah Im seriously thinking about getting some 850$ 200cc 64 Chinese aluminum heads. just a little scared of the reliability on a daily. Although I guess if the worst happens I could just throw stock heads back on until I have the money for AFR or trickflow.

    Good cam specs for build?

    Yah, just looking to up compression and if I’m doing pistons I’ll spend the extra and go forged and also get rods. Yah, I’m shooting for around 330hp. Not sure if it’s possible on vortec heads? Just trying to hit 330 cheapest way possible. And I don’t want to LS swap.

    Will I have to balence the rotating assembly on forged rods and pistons?

    I’m planning on putting high comp forged rods and pistons but keeping bore and stroke stock. I had someone tell me I will have to get my rotating assembly balanced. Is this true? I thought it was only if you change the stroke and bore to a 377 or 383? Thanks, Korbin.

    Good cam specs for build?

    So I had plans to do a 377 stroker but my 450r bike blew up bottom and top end and the suspension has been out for a while so I’m a bit tight on play money. Rather than doing an all out 377 build iv decided just to do a mild build on a 350. What are good can specs/can you recommend for the...

    Good wheel offset?

    I have a 1990 regular cab step side k1500. In the next couple months im going to lift it and do wheels and tires. I’ll be about 2-2.5 inch lift front and back. I want to do 33s and a chrome pro comp or American racing wheel, probably 16 inches. With some 285/75/r16 (comes in at about...

    Fender help

    I’m in need of a new passenger side fender for my 1990 regular cab step side k1500. It’s dented pretty good although the rest of truck is fine. Dented beyond my repair and a dent repair guy quoted me 200$. Definitely not worth it in my opinion. are any of the fenders I’m finding on jegs and...

    Any 383 kits available for our trucks?

    This is probably a dumb question, but this is my first time messing with anything carbureted. Anything iv ever touched has had modern fuel injection and therefore all the parts are made for it. the AFR top end kit I found says the heads are meant for a carb. Will they work with TBI or will I...

    Any 383 kits available for our trucks?

    Thanks. Do you think this setup would work good with a 377 stroker (383 crank and rods with stock bore pistons.) and AFR heads?

    Top end vs 383 stroker

    Stock bottom end, the motor is bone stock. I’d be aiming for around 10:1?? More if it will handle it.
