    Computer Flash Questions

    I recently took my 93 Silverado into a shop because my engine surges at idle. Before bringing the truck in I tested the EGR valve, EGR solenoid, did a fuel pressure test, improved the ground wires, tested for vacuum leaks, I suspected the problem might be with the computer. I used to have a 350...

    Idle Problems

    I have a 93 Silverado with a recently swapped crate 350 Vortec engine. The performance of the engine is great except at idle. The engine surges at idle, and the tachometer will regularly bounce between 600 to 900 rpm. Then occasionally the engine will die out at idle. I regularly get a 32 Code...

    93 Grille to 94 Grille Question

    I have a 93 Silverado. Here's a link to my current grille: CLICK HERE I'd like to change my grille to the 94 style grille with the thicker bar in the middle. I recognize I have to buy new turn signal lights that wrap around the corner unlike my current ones. Will the 94 grille be a direct fit...

    Full Throttle Sputtering

    I have a 93 C1500 and swapped in a crate 350 Vortec engine (which has less than 10k miles on it). The Vortec motor came out of a 92 Camaro. I was able to test out the engine in the Camaro before making the swap and the engine ran perfectly. The engine is running really well in my truck with one...

    Code 43, Knock Sensor Question (Vortec 350)

    My Dad and I installed a crate Vortec 350 (from a 92 Camaro) into my 93 C1500. The engine started up after the install, but it ran really rough. The check engine light is saying Code 43 = Electronic Spark Control. I'm going to install a new knock sensor. The current knock sensor can handle a far...

    Welding Nuts on Headers Question

    I bought shorty Summit headers for my Vortec 350. The exhaust manifold had studs on it making it easier to connect to the head pipe. The new setup up simply has new bolts and nuts to connect to the head pipe. I'm thinking of welding nuts to the collector of the headers to make it easier to...

    Vortec 350 Swap Advice

    My Dad and I are swapping a Vortec 350 into my 93 C1500 in place of the current 350 tbi motor. My Dad has swapped out dozens of engines, but I'm a greenhorn and it's my first swap. I'm looking for any advice on this engine swap. I know I have to use my serpentine system from my original motor...

    Edelbrock Headers Question

    The Vortec 350 motor I bought came with Edelbrock headers. The headers came out of a 92 Camaro and are intended for 88-92 Camaros and Firebirds. I would love to use these headers in my 93 C1500, but I'm highly skeptical that they would fit, let alone hook up directly to my exhaust system. Since...

    93- Oil Filter Cooling Line Question

    I just removed my 350 tbi motor from my 93 C1500. My Dad and I are installing a crate 350 with Vortec heads in the truck. The stock motor has two oil filter cooling lines going to it. The crate motor doesn't have the same setup. 1) Can I switch the cooling line setup over to the crate motor? 2)...
