    Removing engine and trans.

    Yeah I guess I forgot to mention I usually keep a variety of old yokes around that I stick back in the trans after I drop the shafts out.

    Removing engine and trans.

    It wasn't me that posted it but I can try to help you out. I usually start at the back and work my way forward. I'll give you the main points I can remember and it should get you close. 1. Disconnect drive shaft - tape up u-joints 2. Unbolt the trans from the cross member 3.Disconnect trans...

    Help with GM 14 Bolt Rear End

    My best guess would be wrong torque when it was put in at some point. Too much torque cracked the prong and the bolt backed out with nothing to hold on.

    8.1 Vortec VS 383 Stroker VS 6.0 Iron LS

    My advice on a ls swap is buy a whole 1999-2002 silverado/suburban 2500 6.0 that runs. Drive by cable (99-02) is simpler IMO. Don't sell anything off the donor until the job is finished. You would be amazed at how frustrating and expensive it will be if you have to buy everything separate. It...

    For you LS swap guys.

    Here is my view and how I handle my 5.3 swaps. I purchased a 5.3 lm7 2001 from a awesome guy that pulls from a yard. He has them on a stand and you can hear then run. This did at least make me feel better that it would run so I pulled the trigger. It's was a 200k+ motor but I went into the...

    305 SBC vs 6.2 Detroit: Which would you rather?

    My vote is for the 305. I know they make poor power but they live forever. Most 305 have not been abused like a 350 because people don't use them in projects where they want to make big power. You can get them or parts dirt cheap, sometimes even free from marketplace. Most 350 parts will bolt on...

    Single din install problem

    Before I'd hack the dash out I would buy a 2 knob Bluetooth unit. It weights nothing and just mounts using the knob holes. Fm/Bluetooth to the phone.

    Anyone know to install

    While I would advocate for the mechanical like mentioned earlier. Here is the instruction guide for one of these style pumps if you are firm set on running one. This paper I assume would be in your packaging also.

    Anyone know to install

    Hey man, if your small block has a mechanical pump you don't need a electric one. The mechanical ones will last forever. Why did you block off and switch?

    Underside of hood coating ideas?

    Just my opinion but the rubberized coating is extremely hard to get back off. I used these 2k products from eastwood. They are ceramic based 2 part so its tough as nails. https://www.eastwood.com/ew-2k-ceramic-aerosol-underhood-black.html
