    350-383

    If you're going to go with a 383 then you're gonna have to rebuild the whole damned thing :) I was looking at building a 383 to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 375 to 400 HP, but decided against the extra machine work, parts and labor. I'm just going to build a beefy 350 and might even...

    L31 head gasket job tips?

    I just went through this head buying thing, and from all my research I stayed away from the heads mentioned in the quoted section above. These are imported castings built with generic parts. They might work out just fine, but then again who knows. After several weeks of reviewing options, I...

    Reccomend Me Some Good Drilled/Slotted Rotors

    Did you get the E-LINE Series or the Premium Series rotors? Too bad they don't have drums for the 8600 lb. GVW C2500s.

    Calling all single headlight owners

    It looks much better in that pic than in real life. I still have it in my shop waiting on an intake to arrive probably tomorrow. I'm also putting a black on white paint job on it, so it's a work in progress.

    5.7L Vortec build for the '94.

    I just rebuilt the upper end of my 5.7, and one thing I would strongly suggest is that you take the heads to a machine shop and have them vatted and magnafluxed. They are bad about cracking at the middle head bolt area and in the exhaust seats.

    Would so buy this.......

    It's all about location. Trucks and SUVs come at a premium price around here but when I lived in Immokalee, Florida they were a dime a dozen.

    Would so buy this.......

    If my wife isn't bitching about something I'm doing, she isn't happy. Luckily enough for her, I find something on a daily basis to keep her happy.

    Would so buy this.......

    I'd take that trip down HWYs 75 or 95 to pick up a vehicle in that condition for $250 any day of the week.... BTW, I lived in Immokalee for about a year and then Hobe Sound for 4 years and I miss the fishing and warm weather.

    Would so buy this.......

    If that truck is in as good of a condition as it appears to be in from reading the description and looking at the photos, I could get $3500 for that without a motor and tranny down here. Probably part it out for more.

    I'd jump on it if it were in my area.

    repairing cracked dash...

    I totally can relate to the saving cash aspect. I'm in the same situation and looking at used dashes from eBay... a new dash panel from LMC is $999.95 <---OUCH!!!

    repairing cracked dash...

    CA (super) glue is my preferred finish for my duck calls, pens, and other small wood turnings so I use a lot of it, and IMO would be an even worse alternative to a plastic epoxy due to it's brittleness. With that said, between all of the flexing and the extreme temperatures the dash would be...

    Bolt busted in the head

    Like others have said... try to bolt it back up minus that one bolt and see what happens. Just hurry up and get over there and get it done before your pops gets after it with something else :)

    What tool set should i get?

    For what's it's worth, I finally got tired of scrounging through my mis-matched collection of tools and my eyesight isn't what it used to be, so decided to order all new sockets and wrenches. I picked up a Craftsman 176 piece "Easy Read" socket set and a couple of 26 piece combination wrench...

    Hidden Hitch

    Dropped 93 has the sweetest set-up I've seen for a lowered truck... I gots to bookmark this one.

    Look at this idiot.

    The way I read it... it runs awesome and is clean all around except for the busted passenger side window and if it weren't for the linkage on the transmission you could even test drive it.

    Stock 350 Vortec Lower Intake

    If anyone has an extra laying around, I need a lower intake to fit my 1998 350/5.7. I'd be willing to pay extra if it's vatted and cleaned and ready to install.

    Limited slip ? Dumb people

    Not trying to confuse anything or stray too far from the original question, but where does the reliability of the GT4 (14 bolt/3.73 RATIO) rear ends fall into the mix? And what type rear end are they... gov lock/semi floater/full floater?

    Please Welcome 1A Auto to the forum!

    This is great. I've been checking them out for several months and some of their parts prices for my vans are simply unbeatable, and their instructional videos are top notch.

    Regular cab subwoofers

    I was going to go with a couple of these Bazooka BTA6100 BT Series 6-Inch 100-Watt Amplified Tube Subwoofers but thought they might be too big with the seat all the way back... maybe not though... Product Dimensions: 23.5 x 8.8 x 8.5 inches
