    Is it possible? Engine swap edition

    I currently have a TBI 350, that makes pretty decent power for what it is, there's a good chance that I might have the chance to buy a 6.0 out of a 1999 2500 hd. Is it possible to make this switch, I know any things possible but I wanna make sure it can/has been done before. I will have...

    I've begun to undo the OPS and i started watching it and it seems only the brass part moves and not the part that screws in. I was down there cranking for a good 10-15 minutes and it felt like i got nowhere. Also the part that connects the steering column and i believe down to frame, is a real...

    Thinking back on it, the oil pressure gauge never came on so I'm leaning towards that as the cause, I'll keep you guys updated after work. And thanks for the advice, that's why I love this site

    Great day of shopping, love buying stuff off of people who have no idea what they have. Just picked up two sets of vortec heads, a set of headers and a vortec stock cam all for$75! If anyone knows any roller conversion Kits/stuff that would be great help. Also picked up a truck without a...

    350 TBI vortec head swap and smog questions

    Just wondering would 6.0 vortex heads fit or just 5.7? Also plan on doing a new cam too, something with a nice lope. Suggestions other than lt1(looking into). I can deal with rough riding till tune. My plan is to also put a bored out throttle body on there probably 48 or 50 mm and I have to...

    How important is a tune after vortec heads, is it a thing i can wait to get or is it needed as soon as i throw them on?

    350 TBI vortec head swap and smog questions

    Thanks guys I really appreciate it! You were talking about cams, I was either thinking a LT1/LT4 or a Thumpr Series cam by Comp cams because of the old school feel and sound and my father always liked them. Opinions/ideas?

    350 TBI vortec head swap and smog questions

    Thanks I appreciate it, should i shoot for shaving to get a better combustion ratio? I'm a machinist so it would be free, might have to buy an operator lunch but pretty much free. Also I was told my engine was bored .30 over no way to tell (yet) is this going to affect anything?

    Another question with these heads: My family happens to be great friends with a local junk yard, they have a couple SBC Vortecs and i was wondering since i could probably get them for free, is if the intake manifold directly bolt up or would i have to buy a specialty one. Also what should i have...
