    How much HP will a th350 handle? New motor!

    Have had the Blueprint 400 installed for over a year. Haven't put but 1k miles on it as it stays parked for the most part during the winter and I have other vehicles. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mll-bp4002ct1 It runs very strong and the ol TH350 is holding up so far so good. I replaced...

    Np203 part time conversion?

    There used to be 2 part time kits available to change the np203 from full time to part time. I did the cheaper mile marker kit which you could convert the tcase from full to part time while installed in the truck. Took an hour or two but super easy and straightforward, you just swap a gear which...

    New here, building a 82 K10

    USA1 better than LMC or pretty much resell parts from the same supplier? My truck needs cab corners, quarter corners, lots of interior if I want to make it mint.

    pulls to right quickly if you let go wheel,zero tire wear for 18yrs.

    Could be a sticking driver side caliper or deterioration of driver rubber brake line (deteriorate from the inside and act as a check valve which allows brake fluid to caliper but doesn’t release pressure when off brake pedal.)

    How much HP will a th350 handle? New motor!

    My truck is 4WD and the crossmember supports the transfer case. I believe it’s as easy as moving the stock crossmember back 3” and drilling new holes in frame. Issue is you have to shorten rear driveshaft and lengthen front driveshaft. I’ve hear of some people moving motor 2-3” forward. But...

    Lares vs Cardone steering box reman not Saginaw?

    Had my assistant move the steering wheel and the steering box responds along with the rest of the steering with the slightest movement of the wheel. I didn't realize how much the frame flexes when rocking the steering wheel! I checked for frame cracks when installing new steering box and there...

    Lares vs Cardone steering box reman not Saginaw?

    The rag joint / coupler is the difference. Cardone steering Box used the dorman coupler that has more splines and the coupler has a mesh metal webbing layered in the rubber. Lares coupler is all rubber and less splines. The steering shaft bolts to either coupler and doesn’t contact the...

    How much HP will a th350 handle? New motor!

    Thanks!!! I couldn’t build my current 400 to those specs for that price and It’s a new block, no steam holes, etc. thought about LS swap but that’s a lot of work to get everything working, gauges, mounting points, etc. I’d rather keep it small block 400 powered. ETA shipment from summit is...

    Good point. I’ll relocate to near middle of intake and possibly change to metal filter. I like being able to see through the plastic filter for fuel flow and debris.
