    Best engine swap for 1990 gmc 5 speed manual

    I have a 1990 gmc k1500 regular cab step side which I am redoing. I picked the truck up for 3k no dents or rust. In my area I can’t find a running one without dents or rust for under 5k so I’d say it’s a good deal. I’m doing a project in it. Want to do a classic 90s truck. I’m getting it...

    4.3 tbi to 4.3 vortec

    So I just bought a 92 c1500 step side no motor or trans. I also have a 02 4.3 5 speed S10 that the frame has rusted out on. So the questions are, how well does the S10 nv3500 fit in these trucks, will the engine fit or will I need a new pan (both trucks are 2wd) and can I use the S10 engine...

    454 marine engine into a vortex 454 truck?

    Ok, so long story short, can’t find a vortex 454 (96+) straight out of a truck to swap into mine (2000 K2500 454). However, lots of older boats, and marine 454’s. If I can find a Gen 6 marine 454, I believe all I would need to swap over is: front accessories, intake, fueling, exhaust manifolds...

    96 5.7 Vortec Swap

    Hi all, I'm looking for some wisdom on an engine swap - I couldn't find any threads about this yet. I am getting ready to swap out the dead 5.7 Vortec in my 96 K1500 for a rebuilt 350 from an '80 C/K1500. I've done plenty of work before, but never swapped an engine. I'm low on funds and...

    Engine running like crap

    So I have a 1989 Silverado c1500 and it had the stock motor which was a 305. I took it out and put a brand new 350 K (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/nal-12568758) in it. I reused everything off the 305 that I could and I also put a mild cam in it...

    Grandpa's '94 K1500 Cheyenne

    This was my grandfather's truck some years ago and he left it to me when he passed away. I have gotten a lot of use out of it and put maybe 15,000 miles on it in the last few years. It hasn't been cheap though, I performed a lot of repairs and costly preventative maintenance on the truck...
