    Tbi 305 stalling/hard start

    I have not. Genuinely haven’t messed with the obd1 system at all. And it’s currently acting up. I have had to keep the pcv port unhooked and it fires right up and idle albeit high due to the vaccum leak. Wondering if the iac needs reset since being unplugged due to swapping engines.

    5.3 with return rail, looking for the easiest way to hook up the fuel lines, really dont want an lines want it to look fairly oem, Saw somewhere that you can use the factory tbi lines with adapters on the ends to hook up at the rail. Any input would be great besides waiting on my mounts and...

    355 Looses power around 5000rpm

    Put 93 in it today and ran it around and it’s now running fine. Curious why that change would affect it? Not too high of compression.

    355 Looses power around 5000rpm

    not that i noticed, doesnt ping from what i can hear. ill have to pull them again and look over them completely. And nothing else changed when swapping carbs other than having to add a 1" spacer to clear the fuel line on my intake. All the local guys that build engines told me to stick with a...

    Good ready to install vortec heads?+cam recommendation

    not sure if this is still relevent or not but the truck ran pretty good for what it was. 9.25:1 350 with mild upgrades. It had plenty of passing power with 33s and 3.73 gears. Loved 6500rpm but it eventually spun a bearing. Now the truck has a forged bottom end 355 10.5:1 with afr 195cc heads...

I still run the factory pump with a return style regulator and havent had any problems at 6 psi for the last year. The electric pump will be more reliable like...

    Carb swapping an 88 5.7 TBI, parts recommendations

    I agree with what he said about efi. I’ve been tuning the avs 2 for quite some Time now and still haven’t gotten it perfect. The Holley style carbs are a bit easier to use. All you need is an hei distributor, intake, carb, and fpr if it’s 88-95 96 up is a **** show. I did mine with the tbi heads...
