    Pcv valve troubles

    Yeah but wouldn’t it actually be better since the engine wouldn’t be pulling air from the metered air through to the other side. Dosent it work like a circle coming in one side and venting to the other side making a circle.

    383 balancing puzzle

    The vortec timing cover extrudes in the front a bit to fit the sensor. The old damper has a weight in it that sticks towards the engine further than the damper itself. A vortec damper is made for that extrusion and extra length out. I shimmed the cam position trigger wheel or whatever and it...

    Pcv valve troubles

    So I have a 383 I’m about to put in my 98. I bought it with valve covers that have two breathers on one side and nothing on the other. I plan on adding a hole for my Pcv on the drivers side where nothing is at and probably a catch can before the intake. What I’m curious about is if I should...

    What torque converter should I pick

    I have a 98 k2500 I’m putting a 383 in. The cam in the motor has the specs as listed in the picture below. What stall should I use it says the operating range on it on their website is 2500-6500 I was thinking 3000 stall speed is that about right or not

    I just bought a 383 and need help.

    Do you know how that would work with me having a factory fuel injected pickup? Would the computer be upset and transmission shift right?

    I just bought a 383 and need help.

    Alright guys so I just bought a 383 and need some help before I put it in. It’s an old style block with vortec heads and a very big flat tappet camshaft. Now he ran a carbureted motor but I will be going fuel injected with the intake off of my 99. So here are my questions 1. He had said...

    Should I swap a 383?

    Yes but my local shop is very expensive and I’m sure it would end up costing more

    Should I swap a 383?

    I stirred up quite a bit of controversy. Firstly it struggles with semi heavy loads, 20k would be my max. I don’t have cop issues in my area. I’m in a very rural area pulling cows to pasture. I have guys around me pulling goosenecks with full loads of 14 bales. I’m a farmer. I just wanted to...

    Should I swap a 383?

    Sounds good tuning is definitely the next step, just thought if a 383 was gonna be better I would start the process with it instead of doing it twice. I’m trying to pull cattle in a stock trailer and other loads 20k max

    Should I swap a 383?

    That’s a good point, the heads were put on before I got it. I had it tuned on the old computer and it wasn’t really beneficial. I should probably try that first.

    Looking for brake upgrade C3500 CC DRW

    Edit: If you’re really serious about the hydroboost I’d suggest one out of a 08 or so Silverado. And don’t forget to run a cooler on it as well.

    Looking for brake upgrade C3500 CC DRW

    Power stop brakes have great reviews and are very reasonable on rock auto. New calipers pistons and pads. Brake controllers are a pain since there are no factory plugs on these trucks so making sure it is wired right with no bad connections is vital as well as making sure the wire running to the...

    Should I swap a 383?

    Hey guys so I have a 99 crew cab 2500 5.7. last year I rebuilt my 350, I don’t think it got any crazy parts but probably built for slightly more power. But this truck does have aftermarket blueprint heads that should be very good. Shortly after I started kicking myself for not going ahead and...
