    16.5 Inch Rim Options

    I switched mine over to 16" three summers ago and have no issues. The only thing I will say is because of todays "bigger wheel" trends on the new vehicles the tires tend to get discontinued first on the smaller wheel sizes due to consumer demand. If I were doing it over I would have went with...

    Tran..

    If 3 of them line up bolt it up and forget about the other 3. That's what I was told by tech support at Jeggs when I called in with this question. But mine was a old 350 going to a newer 4L80 so I'm not sure if your issue is the same or if your bolt pattern is truly different.

    possible 350 with 305 heads. looking for help on if i should

    Not positive but i am guessing the 416 heads have the 64 cc chamber which is good, I had a set built for my truck originally but unfortunately they were the 58 cc heads. The 58cc heads definitely boosted the compression but in my application (350 bored .030 with 4 relief flat tops) BUT even with...

    She did alright

    I ran those tires on my rig for a year or so and the sidewall is so stiff they are deceiving. On aluminum wheels I had one that would lose air over time. They all looked good on concrete but when I would throw a tire gauge on them that one would sometimes be down to 20-25 psi and looked no...

    5.7, 5.9 or 6.2

    I think it all depends on the big picture for your build. The 6.2 when tuned right can be a dependable motor with fuel economy on your side. The conversion would be much simpler as others have said since it is basically a 350 block it should bolt right in. Depending on what trans you have, with...

    355 tuning questions

    Hey thanks for all the replies guys, I appreciate your input. I'm not biased by any means and don't want to come off that way about the carb. I was just sharing my experience with the two I have had. Ultimately I think my question got answered, and that is that nobody saw any distinct...

    355 tuning questions

    Ok I get the tuning concept and I agree the carter afb was a good carb when tuned right, that's why I ended up with the edelbrock in the first place. My brother had run carter carbs in the past on his nova and gran prix 1/4 mile street toys. He always had good luck with them back then but...

    355 tuning questions

    thanks for all the input fellas, the carb is where i was going to start but wanted others opinions before just tossing more money at the problem. I have come to despise these edelbrock carbs anyhow, for more reasons than one. but rather than waste time bashing carbs i am looking for a solution...

    355 tuning questions

    Ok so my brother and I freshened the motor up in my 84 k20 a couple years ago and though it ran like a scalded dog with 33" tires it seems since I went to 35's and made some motor "improvements" it don't have that same snap it had. Build is like this 350 4 bolt block bored .030, 4 relief...
