    Cam info please

    Hey Pete, whats up? tranny is holding fine, it was worked over before I got the truck, with Corvette stuff so they say?? I wish they had changed the planatary unit to a close ration Sonnax unit but they didnt so 2nd gear is still a reach, really hurts performance IMHO but what ever. A friend...

    Cam info please

    So originally after installing a 502HO in my 90SS 454 truck I was going to do a procharger but the cost will be prohibitive.. So now Im faced with wanting a little more out of my creation and thought a cam upgrade might do the trick. Thinking along those lines and still maintaining streeability...

    Can’t find a 454SS, so I’m building my own!

    FYI since it was mentioned my truck is about a 5-9 drop as far as i can determine, wheels are 20 x 9 255-35-20and 20x10 with 285-35-20. Side to side in rear is as big as stock wheel wells can accept, front no problen turning but on serious pot hole or dips they rub the upper wheel well. price we...

    Can’t find a 454SS, so I’m building my own!

    Best of luck to ya, thats a lot of work and time and money, but in the end youll be proud. Ive had mine now about 3 years and it was pretty nice when I got it, but yet the money is still going in, most of it was on a 502HO swap cause the 454 was gutless and had the TBI on it, never could get it...

    1990 454 SS 110mph gauge cluster

    This is out of my 1990 SS 454, I just switched over to Dakota Digital VHX series. The cluster is in great shape except for the Plexiglas convex hood which is a little cloudy from the years. Speedo works as does the fuel and amp gauges, the oil pressure and water temp were not hooked up when I...

    What type of rims are on your truck

    Mine are American Racing Super Novas, 20x12 and 20x 9.5 with 285/35/20 rear and 255/35/20 front, I like them cause they flash really well and are pretty easy to wipe down,

    Re-build stock front suspension or go Tubular $$$

    Thanks 454, after doing some research I find that for my needs Ill be better off just re-building the stock suspension on my truck so I think thats what Ill do, thanks again Bobby V

    Re-build stock front suspension or go Tubular $$$

    So in looking at going all tubular on the front end along with all new bushing, ball joints etc. it looks to be a cost somewhere around $1300-1500 + labor for the more high quality control arms VS just rebuilding whats there (stock) with all new bushings etc at a much lesser amount of $$$...

    C-notch ?

    Mine is flipped with 3" shackles and 1" blocks, figure its about a 9" drop all told. I had the underbed/over frame C notch done with small bump stops leaving about 3" of travel which is OK unless I hit deep dips or bumps then it bottoms out, price you pay to look cool

    Thank you Chilled :cool: I oredered the teh Ansen 502 insignia valve covers only to find out they were too tell, interferred with many items so I had to cancel them, they are coming out with a new lower VC that I like so thats a possibility, or I could do as you did with my existing VC, we'll...

    Took 70+ years but I have learned

    Thanks for all the advice guys, Iil take it under advisement. The only point was that I guess we always want more than we did huh. Im pretty happy with the out come and yes it would take further improvements behind it to handle more power, shes a little loose off a dig as it sits. Like TBI said...

    Took 70+ years but I have learned

    Some may or may not know that recently I swapped out the stock 454 motor in my truck for a crate 502HO. At the time I was advised by knowing people that it would be plenty of HP at 461 and with enough torque to pull stumps, have to admit it runs pretty well. I wanted to go for the ZZ502 which...

    NV3500 to 700r4 swap.

    Hey Pete do you know if they change your gear ratio with your "Nemesis" tranny between 1st or 2nd ? I read that in stock format the 700R4 has way too big a difference between 1st & 2nd, too that I completely agree, the reason they did that is another matter but Sonnax makes a planatary that make...

    NV3500 to 700r4 swap.

    Ya know Pete I keep hearing about the 700R4 being a weakling, especially with a little power upgrade but I seem to read about the other transmissions blowing up more than the 700 ?? Mine as you may or not know was beefed up with Corvette servos & bands, shafts and stuff I dont know about thou...

    After market gauges

    Yep for sure Ken, I like the NVU gauges a lot also but they wind up at double the Dolphin gauges setuo and DD will be close to a grand for thier setup, just TOO DAMN MUCH MONEY IMHO Bobby v

    After market gauges

    You are correct pete, dont want to screw with the tank unless I have too, this just showed that his OEM sending unit worked with the same Dolphin gauge I will be using thats all. So therefore I should be able to use existing wiring correct, of course we will test it before buttoning it all up...

    After market gauges

    I found this on youtube pete, go to about 11 minutes and watch how he tested the OEM unit in his old tank, see what you think And this was with the Dolphin gauge I like and want to use

    After market gauges

    I am wanting to change out the "moonies" on my truck but wondering if any one knows if there is a fuel gauge that will work with the OEM sender ? Really dont want to go thru the hassle of replacing the existing sender Thanks Bobby V
