    GM OEM Tbi to speadbore adapter.

    Need one of these: Yes there are plenty on ebay, but most of them are priced way high or do not send to Sweden.

    880 vortec blocks, what pistons?

    The TBI truck engines came with either 12 or 18 cc dish pistons. Maybe some TBI cars had 5cc flattops? IDK But how about the Vortecs? Especially the 880 block? (maybe they all where 880's? IDK What pistons could I expect to find in one of those? Trying to buy one and the seller does not find...

    3.53" stroker, Dumb idea or Smart move.

    So, I've had this Idea for a while now.... others have too by the looks of what I find on the interwebs. The idea with this tiny amount of extra stroke is obviously not adding a few extra cubes. Instead it is an alternative to decking the block to get the quench right. Now theoretically one...

    What 14bolt axle should I look for?

    So I found a guy that has two 14 bolt axles for 6 bolt wheels with 3.73 ratio. Not sure if there is G80 inside :) though They are from 2500 Diesels a 94 and a 95 one. Planning to eventually use it on our 1990 K1500 Z71. When turning that into a Sportside 4WD 350/4l60 SS "Clone" I did some...

    What to do with these $50 steel wheels?

    Picked them up a month ago because they where cheap, and because I really like steel wheels :head3: They are OEM 16x6-1/2 from a 91-2500. I'm contemplating having them widened to 9 or 9-1/2" and Painted black. Not sure if that is doable though seems there is not enough lip to start with...

    Guess the exhaust!

    Picked this up yesterday, Planning to use as much as possible for a K1500 exhaust build. It's a superwonky setup with pipes running all over the place. Can anyone see/guess what vehicle it came from.:naughty:

    TBI Exhaust Valves, cast stems?

    Picked up a pair of low milage 193 Heads. The seller told me he had a bit of an "oopsie" when taking them of the block. Apparently he missed the head and hit a valve when tapping the head, trying to free the head gasket. To his surprise the valve brooke clean off They seem super brittle, as...

    Need help Identifying remanufactured TH700/4L60

    So I found a transmission and transfer case. Plan is to build it for my 1990 K1500. I knew that for it to be the correct trans the pump P/N should end with ...732 This one is out of a 91, and has a goodwrench sticker on it. so far so good. But pump no is 8682132, Is that also correct for a...

    1990 K1500 5.7 TBI, Transmission upgrade options?

    Did a testdrive the other day after some overdue maintainance, just to verify everything was fine. Which it was, well sort of, at least for now :). The transmission in the truck, a 4l60 without the E is showing some of its age I think. The 2-3 shift is taking a little bit longer than I would...

    Inlet manifold bonanza...

    When gathering parts for a mild upgrade I took a dive into my own parts bin, mainly just to assess the greatness or lack thereof of the stock TBI inlet manifold. (just by eyeballing it, so not very scientific really :)) While doing so I took some pictures. Maybe they can be of use to someone...

    454 Throttle body or 46-47mm modified 350 TB?

    Have started collecting parts for a very mild upgrade package for my daughters truck. What I want to achive is just a little more better everywhere, to match, or possibly ever so slightly, outperform the performance of a stock 454ss but with 350 fuel consumption :) I'm hoping to get there on...

    Low beam headlight upgrade. Options?

    After installing one of thoose curved LED light bars, my high beams now has incredible and borderline eye melting light output :waytogo: As I suspected, dimming down to low beams, in contrast to the high beams new output now is more like turning the headlights off altogether What I've done...

    Heater flow/temp issue?

    Soo, With European studded Snow tyres on, and the wonky power steering now fixed. This is an AMAZING ride in the Winter. Every bit as fun as the old Audi Quattro I used to have years ago, just with a LOT more Cowbell :) Except... Cabin Heat. It is not cutting it. Apparently when it works it is...

    K1500 possible Steering box issue?

    Hello, Gentlemen. This is my first post, it became longer than I wanted but I´m trying to cram every little bit of info in it at once, to cover all bases. So I bought this 1990 Z71 Sportside 1500 truck for my Daughter, and when we test drove it we noticed the steering was wonky and did not...
