    What is the stock caliper on a K30?

    Does the 86 K30 use a D52 as the stock front caliper? I'm curious because I'm looking to upgrade if it's possible. It's a single rear wheel with a Dana 60 Kingpin front axle.

    Peanut port heads

    I guess I wasn't the clearest. I'm wanting to run an edelbrock pro-flo 2 on my 454 and it says it's an oval port inlet for the holes. I was curious if they would work on a peanut port head.

    Peanut port heads

    I had a quick question, peanut port heads or oval on the intake side right? I would pull mine apart but really don't feel like tearing into the engine.

    5.9l Cummins swap into a lucky Square Body

    89 through 98 had the 12 valve. In 94 they switched to a P pump and all trucks had intercoolers by then. Non of the 12 valves had electronics, it was in 98 1/2 when they switched to the 24 valve that things became computer controlled.

    Differences in a dually?

    I might be John. I guess it would depend on shipping. And thanks for the info John. I've been toying with making mine a dually as of late because I want to make it a dedicated tower/hauler truck.

    Differences in a dually?

    I'm toying with an idea of making my K30 a dually. Is there any difference in a dually's 14 bolt FF rear end and my single wheel 14 bolt FF? As well what would the difference be with the Dana 60 Kingpin up front. And did the dually come with a rear sway bar?

    Those are some nice valve covers. What brand and where did you get them?

    Cummins Coversion wiring/computer questions

    12 valves aren't run on computers, everything is mechanical. If you had a 24 valve then you would have a problem.

    Why does everyone dislike the 6.2 diesel?

    I had an 84 K20 with a 6.2 in it. I didn't have an issue with it at all. The PO put cherry bombs on it and made it sound like a hopped up small block that did good on mileage. I would like to find another one only a C30 this time and put a banks turbo kit on it. They did that with an...

    Those valve covers are bad ass. I'm partial to these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pro-141-805/overview/make/chevrolet but can see the lack of an oil fill slot frustrating.

    Don't do it, keep those rockers. I have that kind on my 400 and they are awesome. Why not just try and find tall valve covers that resemble something that would be factory.

    8.1L/4L80E swap into 84 Dually

    That's actually really cool. Looks good and functional. :driver:

    Towing weight?

    I guess that makes sense. Seeing how that's the only thing between the transmission and axle that would change.

    Towing weight?

    Alright gents, I was roaming the internet when I read that a C30 can tow 12,000 pounds but a K30 can only tow 7,000. Am I understanding this right? 500ish pounds of 4 wheel drive gear eliminates 5,000 pounds of towing capability? :Rant:What can I realistically tow with a 454, TH400, and 4.10...

    Looks good. You're making me want to pull my 454 and stroke it to a 496. I plan on keeping the stock heads though to build the low end torque for towing.

    8.1L/4L80E swap into 84 Dually

    84 dually, what steering column are you using now that you'll have a 4 speed? I want a 4L80E in my truck and want to start putting together a parts list.

    8.1L/4L80E swap into 84 Dually

    That engine looks gigantic in there. And to think I thought my 454 was big. So what kind of mileage and power do those put out?

    454 carb rebuild kit

    Sweet. Thanks guys. I went to the parts store the other day and they said there were two kits for it. So I decided to ask first.

    454 carb rebuild kit

    Anybody know what kit I need to get to rebuild the carb on my 454? Or where I can at least find the casting number?

    Never mind smudged glass, you should have seen what I did to the kid that ran into my Camaro :gr_guns:

    Irish's pickup from hell, the 454SS.

    What transmission/gear ratio is he using to help him get that fuel mileage? I remember Evil Crew Cab saying he bumped his 454 up into the teens by swapping in a 4L80-E. So are the oval ports better for performance and towing?
