Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?
But anyhow back to the truck, the shop quoted me $250 for a head job. So we're looking at over $500 to buy, rebuild, and install just the heads... not worth it. I'll keep looking.- OneShot

Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?
Long story short, I was offroading in Moab, Utah and I screwed it up there. I spent a week doing intermediate to moderate difficulty trails and then drove it back to Indiana. When I got back home it started eating axle shaft bearings. I went through two sets of driver's side bearings before I...- OneShot

Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?
After an unintended hiatus (I put a crack in the rear axle casting of my Jeep Wrangler, and swapped it with a Ford 8.8 out of an Explorer) I'm back on this project. Been daily driving the truck since the Jeep has been down. Getting increasingly annoyed with the engine problems. It's more than...- OneShot

Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?
I will check when I get home. I'm on business travel at the moment. I'll get you the casting / model number too. I found an Edelbrock 2101 Performer intake on Facebook for $100 near me (neat!) that I think I'll go with. Having a bit of trouble finding some 462 or 291 heads near me though...- OneShot

Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?
First let me say, that all of you have been extremely helpful and I'm very grateful for your input. I'm a member of some other car forums where people aren't nearly as kind or helpful. You guys rock. I think I'll stick with the SBC. The question now is exactly how to go about doing it (crate...- OneShot

Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. Looking for some input I may not have considered. Huh, I had not heard of these cold start issues. I rebuilt my Quadrajet in 2019 and its performing great. Got it tuned in just how I like it. But this is concerning. Definitely cause for more reading. This is...- OneShot

Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?
All, Not looking for help with an LS swap - that horse has been beaten to death. I'm looking for your opinions on my current situation. I use my C20 as a backup vehicle, and as a farm truck in weekly use. Its in very good original condition and not restored. I don't plan to make it a road queen...- OneShot

OEM Style Cold Air Intake Tube
Cool! I'll look around on Summit and LMC. Mine is original and getting kind of chipped up so it might just be time for a new one. Dang email notifications... not giving me notifications. I would have replied sooner. Sorry y'all. My current one looks like this - I'll have to go out and measure...- OneShot

OEM Style Cold Air Intake Tube
Hey all, Happy 4th :biggun::drink_nl::party33::patriot::cheers: On this joyous day, I just finished an intake manifold swap on my SBC from the OEM cast iron to the Edelbrock 2101 in chrome. Looks great, runs better. Did a top end paint job while I was in there too. Anyhow, the new manifold...- OneShot

Yeah that's a possibility. Honestly I have never had it out. I guess we'll find out though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk- OneShot

Charcoal Canister Repack
Alright, I think the plan is to get the qjet reinstalled and the truck running / tuned. Then I will pull the charcoal canister apart and do an inspection / cleaning / repack with new carbon. I suppose I will also keep a sample of the old stuff and try to extract any contaminants from it to see...- OneShot

Charcoal Canister Repack
Fellas and Fellaesses, I'm about to wrap up a remanufacture of my Q-Jet (milled surfaces, pressed bronze bushings, retapped all the threads, seals, etc, etc ,etc.) and I plan on replacing all of the vacuum lines when I reinstall the carb. I was thinking yesterday - the charcoal canister needs...- OneShot
