    TBI 350 to TBI 454 swap?

    I'm getting bored of the ole TBI 350 and looking into swapping. How plug and play is a TBI 454 to swap in? I also have a NV3500 trans which I dont expect to last but a few years. At first I will drop the motor in bone stock and work out any issues until it works as if it was meant to be. THEN...

    14-18 Rear Bumper Swap (No Welding)

    Ive finally managed to pull off the swap without any welding. It is as sturdy as factory and looks as if it was meant to be. The bolt holes on the 14-18 bumper brackets line up to the holes cut in the frame. Youll need two long bolts and two spacers made from some strong tubing. The spacers...

    NV3500 to T56 swap?

    I recently found a guy on instagram who swapped a LT T56 into his truck while keeping the original 350. My truck is a 94 TBI 350 with the NV3500. Does anybody have a write up on the process? My NV3500 is good, but its obviously not built to be abused if you couldnt tell by the "what gear is...

    How many quarts? (fluid questions)

    Can somebody do a write up on how much of what kind of fluid we need? Oil, diff, transmission. Please include what motor (4.3, 5.7, 7.4, etc) what type of trans (4l80,nv3500,etc) and how much of what type of fluid. There should be a pinned thread on this already but there isnt. I particularly...

    A/C Clean?

    94 TBI 350 My A/C is cold, but doesnt have much power to it. Meaning it blows, but about as much as a chihuahua fart. My blower sounds like its dirty or broken. How difficult is it to clean/replace the blower motor and get some airflow back? And what are the steps?

    Classic Procharger kits?

    I know they used to make Procharger kits for these trucks, has anybody used one? I know theyre expensive and probably not worth it for the power, but I want to do it to be different from all of the LS swaps. Do they still make them anymore? I know its stupid to try and procharge a TBI 350 but...

    Legit cowl hood?

    Where can I find a fiberglass (to save weight) 2" cowl hood with a functional cowl? Ive heard some of these hoods have a cowl but its closed off. Where can I find one thats open and will actually let air in and heat out?

    Wobbly Seat Rails?

    I just installed a 95 bench seat and carpet into my 94. Bolted right in, no issues. However, once I sat down in it I felt it could wiggle back and forth, like a teeter, not front to back. I looked under and the sliding seat rails had some wiggle room. Is this a common issue? how can I mend this...

    Color combos!

    I want to see some 88-94 color combos. Specifically browns and tans. If possible tell me what SEM color codes they are too. I'm swapping in a new dash to my truck and need ideas on the combo I'm going to go for. Ill for sure do a two tone of sorts, one color looks cheap. I've even thought of...

    I am in need of some 94-96 Impala SS wheels, I dont need tires as I'm not going to use the factory size, but if they have them on already ill still take it.

    96 Impala SS wheels advice?

    I'm looking to run a set of 17" Impala SS wheels and I just wanted a few things cleared up for me. I've heard the bolt pattern is slightly off, can adaptors be run? I dont want my wheels to poke out of the fenders, I'm not a huge fan of that look, what spacing do I need (basically what size...

    Front bowtie emblem?

    Are there any companies that make a front bowtie with the design they have today for a 94 grille? Ive seen the factory gold, black, and billet emblems but none with the "chiseled" look of the new ones. Is it possible to retrofit one if necessary or will it have to be made? (This style badge on...

    NV3500 to T56 swap?

    I have a 94 C1500 with the 5.7 and NV3500. What all will it take to swap in a T56? does it require fabrication? Does it bolt in? Are there swap kits? I want to do this swap eventually and I want to do it properly

    Strange running habits, need help.

    94 TBI 350. My engine seems to run strong given its 201k miles, but recently it’s been odd. Most of the time it runs fine, but every once in a while this issue pops up. It’ll start loping, usually on start (only after cooling down from being run before) or when the engine speed drops like when...

    Looking for pics? Nova wheels on OBS?

    I’ve found a set of 15” 69 Nova SS wheels (originals, not replicas) and I wanted to see how they look on an obs truck. I’m not sure if it’ll look good or not but if it does it’ll really drive home the “muscle truck” look

    Different door chime?
