So 90% sure I will be rebuilding my L29. I have a 99 K2500 Burb(410 rear end), and will be using it to hunt/camp/overland/tow etc. While rebuilding the motor I figured I would do some upgrade since I'm in it already anyway.
Don't want to spend too much, and not looking for major HP/TQ gains. Just hoping to get some overall better performance, with better low end torque. If possible better MPG(not really important though).
For the bottom end, I don't plan on doing too much. Once I get the block to the machine shop they'll let me know what needs done. I'm assuming .010 or .030 over. Really only doing what is necessary.
For the top end I am looking to do a mild Cam, valve springs etc. The problem is I am super new to this. I have worked on cars my whole life, but never really did any engine building work. So I don't fully understand cams etc. I know how they work and have been doing research on different durations and lift and am starting to understand all that.
What would a good cam be for my application? What else would be required to make it run correctly?
I was looking at doing the Bosch type injectors, long tube headers, and true dual exhaust as well. Like I said just not sure how to put it all together, and a little overwhelmed with the information that's out there.
