    High compression heads on a TBI 454

    Hello, I have put together a build list for my 1993 c2500 with a TBI 454. I figure the abysmal compression ratio could be boosted to make more power and improve economy. The list includes: less wimpy cam, hydraulic roller lifters, Edelbrock high compression heads, Edelbrock TBI intake, injector...

I can't find...

    My tailpipe is the size of a cocktail straw

    Ok not exactly, but it's definitely smaller than stock. I'm the third owner of an 88 Chevy G20 van with a basically stock 350 (iron manifolds, factory y-pipe, cat, etc) At some point the previous owner had the exhaust from the cat back replaced by someone who cobbled together such a goofed up...

    Crank, Spark, No Fuel after changing clutch line assembly

    not sure if this is the right place to ask this but here goes: I have a 1995 4.3 vortec with man trans. I had to drop the pan and replace bearings and during that process I developed a pinhole leak in my hydrolic clutch line. So I figure I'd just replace the whole assembly. Got that done, bled...

    Hi everyone I’ve been reading up on this forum about the different cooling fans available for our trucks. It’s been a mixed bag but it sounds like there’s a fan out there called a duramax fan, it has 9 blades, is this something I could find at a junk yard? And if so what engine/models. What...
