    75 K20 203 to 205 swap

    Hey guys, I used the search and read several threads that answered most of my questions. My truck is a 75 k20, 350/350/203. Looking to swap the 203 to a 205. I’m aware I will need different drive shafts. All that stuff is not a problem. I got connections and won’t have a problem getting the...

    I I’m running 5w-30. What should I put in. Sorry if I sound stupid. I’m 16 learning as I go here.

    GMC K-1500 has blow by.

    Ok. Thanks. I told the guy that’s gonna be looking at it. He didn’t seem to care. So hopefully it works out. I’m hoping it’s just valve seals, the only spots the blow by comes from us the passenger side valve cover. So far we are at 8k. It’s not a lot of blow by. Just a little. Most of the...

    GMC K-1500 has blow by.

    Hey, my 81 GMC K-1500 has blow by. It’s got a 305 in it. Is there anyway I can make it better without taking the engine apart? I’m trying to flip it to make money on it. I got about 6k into it. Hoping to sell it for 9. I have it listed on marketplace rn. Is this fair...

    I set the timing by ear and it runs like a top! Thank you very much.

    Yes. I added a phenolic spacer. I didn’t notice it helping at all.

    My initial thought was vapor lock. But I don’t think that’s the case anymore. After going through the whole fuel system there doesn’t seem to be any vulnerable spots.

    81 K-1500 It’s got a 305 with Edelbrock performer intake, AVS 2 Carb and headers. I bought the truck this way. I wouldn’t waste my money on the 305. Oh well. When I drive the truck enough for it to get hot, and turn it off, it doesn’t like to start. It rolls over real slow, for about 7 seconds...

    Duel Tank Block Off.

    Thank you sir. Just bought about 7 to 10 square body’s for $500. No idea if they run or anything. Gonna buy a few 7.3 power strokes from the person too. Might keep one. Get them running and sell them. Fingers crossed a 63 Vette and 66 Vette as well. Amazing what happens when you start talking to...

    Duel Tank Block Off.

    I got to thinking, (not something I usually do) and I had the idea of just putting a new bed side on with a closed cap. That side that I don’t need a fuel door on is dented and a little rotted. SirRobyn0 Did you ever find the tank part? Thinking I could buy it from you when I get the money. I...

    Thank you. I really appreciate. I’ll buy them from you. I am 16 and am pretty broke. Lol. I have a bunch a high body and bumpside parts I need to sell to raise money for this project. I’m also selling a 81 k-10. When I get the money I’ll be happy to buy them off you.
