    Looking for big block advice.

    I think im gonna try to find a tbi just due to the terrain I will be in. And no serp belt either. I guess im SOL there and will have to source some parts for that. Reliable torque that's not going to cut out on me in the woods. I mean yes. I want power and all but toque is the priority.

    Looking for big block advice.

    Thoughts about Tbi on this engine? since my truck already has a tbi harness in in from the 350 that I pulled. Can I use my old throttle body an just but 454 injectors in it and get a tune? Just thinking tbi may be in my favor in the woods on inclines. Also any chance 350 accessories will work...

    Looking for big block advice.

    May stick with the stock crank ad rods if I can get away with it, since I have another stock crank to replace the broken one that was in it. Just unsure of how much it would be to buy a stroker crank vs having this stock one turned.

    Looking for big block advice.

    Any suggestions on stroker kits? could I buy just a crank and rods and use the forged pistons I already have? I also have 2 head choices. Aftermarket is out of the question financially. I believe I have 046 heads ad not sure of the other set I have. Id like to use the intake I have as well...

    TBI or carb questions

And I know I can use my tbi sensors, your saying just hack up my tbi harness and make that work? Sorry for the ignorance to carbs/ setup, never had a carbed vehicle before and this will be my...

    TBI or carb questions

    TBI or carb questions

    Also I don't drive the truck in the winter. But still not sure what direction I want to go with this. If I run the tbi heads and intake on the older block I will bump up my compression ratio, correct?

I was thinking about going with Comp Xtreme 4X4 #12-239-3 1300-5600 rpm 218/226 dur @ 50 .462 .480 lift and if I go carbed I was thinking of going with a q-jet or offroad avenger, just from what I have read/ heard of working well. Also thinking of a dual plane intake. I can...
