    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    Well, it's been a few months and I'm cracking at it again. I'm still trying to acquire what I need to pull the motor. So in the meantime I pulled my dash completely out to access the HVAC box. When I would turn AC on it just wouldn't blow hard even though the blower seemed to be blowing hard...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    @Road Trip just wow. I enjoyed reading that very much. I will get around to watching that video. Hehe yes good Ole FOD, I definitely understand that. Thank you for clarifying the numbering order. My common sense told me how you numbered it but there was conflicting info. Honestly I should have...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    Hehe, well I have been reading, reading, eyes bleeding, reading trying to soak in information and realize there is quite a bit of LS involved things. I was like let me read more into this. Honestly didn't want to ask because someone had already said it is not budget friendly but what can I say...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    That's what I was thinking. Like sandblasting everywhere oil runs and then grinding everything else away. Did not think of motor homes, my issue I was seeing was high mileage engines. Was thinking it may put me back right were I am. I will start looking ^_^. Anyone have a recommendation of...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    So yes I only called one shop so far but I felt the numbers were fair. Please bare in mind this is a broad range due to the fact the shop just won't know until block and heads are in hand. Obviously I would need to bring it all bare to them. They said before I buy anything they will spec...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    So I am going to call some machine shops and see the cost to go through the lower block and the heads with no components in it. I'm sure they will be able to tell me if things need to be machined or what not and be able to give me specs so I can get the right size parts. Because with the play...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    Oh forgot to comment on this: I found a long block start at $2,400 https://www.mabbcomotors.com/catalog/auto/national-long-block-program-no-core-required/manufacturer/chevrolet/gm-chevrolet-454-74-premium-long-block-1991-1995-1pc-no-core-required-1-year-limited-warranty/ ^_^ it is a reman of...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    Haha that's funny. Well they both could be (ocked either way. I guess when they became free of thr cranks binding tolerances they just went to town and had the time of their lives lol. All the way to the end too!!! I'm really going back and forth on junkyard/marketplace/pulled block but I feel I...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    You know, that may be a great idea. I am concerned that the efficiency of the block is pretty low because I was getting 8.33 mpg. Please take that number with a grain of salt as I have recently learned through this forum how to be more accurate with those numbers. But what makes me believe this...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    Hehe apparently I may not know what piston # is located where on an engine. It's the two front ones. They are attached to the front of the crank right next to each other.

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    Yes she did. The filled oil passage surprised me and I'm not 100% that was when it lost oil, I feel that may have started prior to my ownership but I am not sure. Unsure condition of the rest of the block to be honest. I figured with the amount of metal that went through the block that trying to...

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    As far as budget goes, a new motor is roughly 2,500 + an extra 1,000 for hoses power steering pump, steering gearbox etc. + 20% is $4,200. As for time, I agree on the add 50% I usually double what people tell me it took them lol. It seems to be spot on. Thank you for the luck I'll need it.

    Hello......where do I start. Hello my name is...

    Shane. I don't want to bore people with a long post, however I feel it can't be avoided. Bare with me? I purchased (see signature) a 1995 Suburban K2500 (insert sub-model here) 4x4 7.4 TBI with 253,000 a year ago. When I got her, I could tell she was not maintained well towards the end of the...
