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.

Define Slammed

So I have been planning to put a 5/7 drop kit on my truck. A friend here (Stroker52) turned me on to the DJM Suspension kits, and the plan was set. So tonight while I was researching helper bags I got to looking at the drop kits again and went to the page with the individual parts listed and...

I'm trying to get all of my parts sources for lowering my truck this coming spring but I'm a little stumped about adding helper bags in and amongst the flip kit and the notch and anything else I'll have to do to it when I drop the rear. The drop kit I'll be using is a DJM 5/7, and the bags...

350 Vortec uppper end to-do list:

I've got my 350 torn down to the block, and I'm going to rebuild it in phases due to restrictions time and funding. At first I was going to just have the heads done and then put it all back together, but it makes sense to me to go ahead and replace some other parts while I'm at it. the following...

Timing Issue

Before I tore the top half of my engine down, me and a buddy rolled the #1 piston around to the compression stroke and the distributor rotor was pointing toward the little "8" under the cap. I began cleaning the font of the motor this afternoon and found some timing marks that I didn't even know...

Distributor/Timing Problem

I'm in the process of removing the wires and components from the top of my motor in order to remove the upper intake and while pulling plug wires from the distributor cap so I could get at the fuel lines the distributor rotated... for whatever reason it was a little loose. Since these Vortec...

Lower Control Arm Question

The one of the stabilizer bar links on my truck is broken. While I was inspecting the lower control arm I noticed that the hole for the link is oval. Overall, the hole is so uniform that I can't tell if this is the way it's made or it's worn out. There is wear on one side of the hole where the...

C2500 w/ fuel coming out of the exhaust

I just bought a 1998 C2500 w/ V8 - 5.7L (vin R) 350ci engine. When I got the truck I could smell the raw fuel coming out of the exhaust pipe so I decided to start with a tune up. So far I've replaced the spark plugs (gapped @ 60), plug wires, distributor cap and rotor - ran a can of Sea Foam...
