    Running lean/bogging

    Hey guys, wondering if anyone has any ideas on why my 91 350 refuses to run right On cold mornings when you go to turn it on it'll immidietly die, but fire back up easily, but under any kind of load, up hill or towing a trailer, it'll bog and act like it's running out of throttle, to the point...

    turbo 400 into a vortec truck

    Np241 will work as long as you swap/have a xfer case with a 32 spline input, if your planning to sas a 208/205 would work with a gm axle , and come already bolted to the 400, For the 400 to work all you need to do is tap into the intake manifold for a vacuum source for the tranny to shift...

    Removing front differential?

    How hard is it to remove the front differential on a half ton, it looks like you remove the axle bolts, and the two bolts on each side of the diff and it'll drop out, is it that easy or am I missing something?
