    New sbc 400 blueprint engine keeps fouling plugs with gas

    That carb was also most likely "dialed in" under full throttle pulls in a controlled environment, for dyno sheet needs. Now you have it in an ever changing environment, turning a consistent and lower rpm with not a full load. Different conditions require different tune ups. A change in air...

    Thoughts on going to a 4spd overdrive?

    I am not necessarily arguing, but I can't take you serious if you don't give reasons. Just standing there proclaiming something without solid reasoning doesn't make people think critically.

    Lol! Damn... pigeon named Kettle, meet pigeon named Pot!

    Thoughts on going to a 4spd overdrive?

    Same reasoning as all 400 sbc's overheat because siamesed bores.

    Upgrade order

    You have psychological issues. You need professional help. I have no idea what compels you to post the way you do, but it is disturbing to be honest. I don't know if it's a heightened sense of entitlement, a cry for attention, or if you have been split into multiple personalities. I do sense...

    Upgrade order

    I had to go back and read it again, just to see if I actually read what I thought I read.

    Double Hump thoughts:

    You are correct. The heads I am referring to are factory iron heads.

    Double Hump thoughts:

    That price was cleaned, magnafluxed for cracks, new guides, springs, retainers, and cleanup of the valve seats when necessary.

    I will echo what everybody else said, and add this... Locally I have a guy that sells Vortec's ready to go for $450. Just saying...

    Header Mounts

    The hoops on the headers have nothing to do with those holes. You are thinking about it too much. Trying to use those tapped holes to help prevent warping is a losing exercise. You can cut the hoops off and go on your way. Hell, you could separate the three distinct sections and be just as...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    This conversation is over. Nothing either of us says from here on out is going to do any good. I have already deleted my response back. Let's just agree to shake hands and raise a beer together, and move along.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Hmmm... I guess I didn't realize you are the one to say what parts go on my truck. When the new hoses you ordered show up at my house, I will get them on asap.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That is another very real possibility I thought of also, good call. I am looking at braided stainless lines now. The ones on it are factory original. I am definitely going to do new lines, and just check the condition of everything else. Wildwood has their D52 caliper kit that looks...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Been driving mine a lot more this year than usual. Noticed it pulling to the left, and a weird smell when I got to work several weeks ago. Wheel and hubcap were super hot. Pretty sure the front ds brake is dragging. Or a bearing is going out. Can't do much about it right now besides...

    1977 c10 worth one owner 63k miles

    Do some research dude. I hate to be an ass, but there's a shit ton of ads everywhere of people selling squarebodys. See what others are selling for. It's worth what you are willing to pay. And that's different for everyone. Look around for yourself. I was going through a Monte Carlo SS...

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    When they use the is it still available button, I use the yes its available button right back at them. The headers I bought last week went like this... I messaged him and said if they are not spoken for yet, I am interested in them. And asked if the reducers were still in the box too. No...

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    I use Facebook only for Marketplace. I am fighting the fact that the apps, FB and Messenger, do not send me notifications. I have all the settings correct, but they still don't work right. I just found someone contacted me through Messenger two days ago. Then when I tried to see the message...

    Not a Square, But 1 BadAss ‘95 Suburban!

    You been hanging with them import guys too long.... edit: Let me rephrase that... No one refers to the size of their small or big block Chevy in liters... just, no.

    Gauge Cluster Replacement

    Ouch. Access to the speedo cable IS possible without disassembling the dash. Just for future reference. From my personal experience in converting my gauges to a stock tach cluster, my recommendation would be to get on ebay and see if you can find a whole unit ready to go. Expect to spend...

    LED Round Headlight Conversion

    Thank you for the comparison! Right now my truck doesn't use it's headlights enough to actually justify the upgrade. But like I said, my Monte is almost on the road again and that is going to be my psuedo daily driver in the summer. So knowing led bulbs work in reflector housings that well is...

    LED Round Headlight Conversion

    @77 K20 ... LED on the left I am assuming? I have the Hella housings also. Didn't think or realize that you could just stick an LED bulb in those housings. Interesting... Now I am looking at doing LED headlights in my Monte. Dang forums...

    Poll -Would doing a LS swap in a CLEAN 1987 V10 INCREASE to DECREASE VALUE?

    People also think because you have a $600 jy motor, that they did the whole swap for $600. And they also think comparing the price of a 200k mile 5.3 versus rebuilding a sbc is an apples to apples comparison. It's not. Try comparing an LS rebuild to a sbc rebuild, that is more realistic. I...
