    Do square body 454 headers fit?

    The IFS differences near the motor should be outside the frame rails, but I don't know the frame rail width difference between the IFS and SAS trucks. The torsion bar bracket for the IFS could be and issue further back where the collectors end up. If somebody could measure the frame rails on a...

    Time for a new cam...

    First off, great post! I'll do my best to keep the theme going I apologize in advance if I have taken too much literary freedom. If you are worried about the vortec air dispenser limiting your screaming blad eagles you might consider using the money for the dinosaur juice meters for a new...

    94 Suburban 2500 4x4 value

    Would love to see pics! I paid significantly more for a freshly repainted 1997 with 454 with 96k miles and a 6" lift. I get compliments all the time on how clean it is. I probably won't see the increase in value that you could since I paid so much more but I would hazard a guess thatine hasn't...

    4x4 coil overs?

    Other than weight and ground clearance as pros there are a lot of cons as previously mentioned. Fun fact, If your LCA's are set up near level the torsion bars are actually slightly progressive as they will get harder to rotate (stiffer) once the LCA pass level (shorter moment arm of the LCA)...

    The Official Vortec 454 Info thread

    The AIR Injection system is almost exclusively for CA emissions vehicles. It is a belt driven pump that pushes fresh air into the exhaust manifolds until the Catylitic converters are warmed up. On ocassion I have seen the AIR headers for cheaper than regular. It is just an extra bung welded on...

    Bowtie Brody's Namesake 96 454

    Glad I'm not the only one slacking. No new tires in my near future, but I did give it a good vacuum last night. Sent from my moto g stylus using Tapatalk

    Headers for 1999 L29 7.4l 4x4

    The biggest thing I noticed was the oil filter is in the way for Long tube headers on 4x4 trucks. If the truck is lifted there should be room to remove the adapter and mount the oil filter vertical with a 2wd oil filter stud. I have an L29 in my Suburban with rear AC and didn't notice anything...

    1997 gmc k2500 burban

    Progress looks good so far. The GMT400 tailgate can only be opened from the dash, the key fob, or turning the key in the tailgate clockwise. It can also be a pain on a lifted Suburban for shorter people to reach into. Though I still love being able to sit on my tailgate. For what it's worth, I...

    The Official Vortec 454 Info thread

    Can you have BB flash it to run and then customize the tune later with HP tuners? I am not just suggesting this but also considering it as I "didn't have the time" to learn how tuners so I paid BB, but I would be interesting in tuning down the road. I thought HP tuners was half that of EFI...

    Nice Suburban, how do you like the barn doors over the tailgate in the '91? Sent from my moto g stylus using Tapatalk

    Is there a simple ECU re-map for a stock 1997 7.4L/454?

    That Gibson looks perfect, kind of bummed I didn't find it myself, though it is $100 more than the 3" dual in/dual out I picked up. Sent from my moto g stylus using Tapatalk

    Is there a simple ECU re-map for a stock 1997 7.4L/454?

    I've got a dual 3" in single 3" out magna flow on my Suburban that is starting to fall apart and the packing is probably toast but it is pretty tame and very little drone. It does have a nice rumble to it but it doesn't piss of the neighbors. It is however nearly 2' long which I'm sure helps...

    Head options

    Are you going to put a can in it at the same time? That should really wake it up. You'll need to figure out where you want it to make power the stock heads are good truck heads with low end torque. Most aftermarket options will lower your compression ratio if you aren't careful with the...

    My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban

    Thanks for the link, I am curious if they give you an eldorado caliper for the e brake or a second caliper that is cable activated. In my research the GMT800 10.5 full float is on 8.1 Avalanches and Suburbans as well as the more rare 6.0 HD trucks (a lot had SF axles and then the 8.1 and...

    Aftermarket EFI on Vortec 454

    Probably a little outside the budget but I believe the higher end Holley EFI systems can control the tranny as well. I am with you on the serviceability of some items not to mention the valve cover restrictions which are a little more aesthetic in nature unless you are going for adjustable...

    Discontinued Emissions Part for 454

    I may have one that I am removing shortly, I do have some noise in my AIR system but I think it is from the pump not the valve.

    93 K2500 Suburban 454 Holley Sniper Upgrade

    Oh no, hope everything is okay in there. Really neat project and great notes! I've been thinking of doing this myself so it's good to see it done and be worth it in the end. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

    Do u know these wheels???

    I've seen a few of those on mid 90s wranglers actually. I don't recall them being stock on anything though the Chevy center caps are nicely done. Flip them over and look for casting marks on the backside. Those may point you in the right direction. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

    That's a sharp dually! How do you like the tow mirrors? I've been debating putting them on my Suburban but all I tow is my 22' ski boat. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

    Little more power for my '96 454 dually...

    I finally have a viable 3rd vehicle again so I can lay up the Suburban for a bit, now I'm just waiting for the time to sit down and work through the pin out. It definitely seems intimidating, but I've heard that patience and due diligence checking your wires pays off. I was planning to invite a...

    Is your 0411 already turned? I actually paid black bear to tune my 0411 (also haven't installed mine yet [emoji3525]) that way I have their support and I plan on getting a scan cable tune once I get it running to make sure it is dialed in right. Getting HPtuners or EFI live is tempting but I...

    472k miles is sure impressive though! I'm only at 130k but planning on holding on to this one until they stop making gasoline! Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
