    SM 465 locked in neutral -

    Quite possible to knock your stick out of "time" or proper location in conjuction of the shift forks. Basically, I had to remove the shifter, take a screw driver and pry the shift forks back into neutral postion, reinstall shifter and back to swapping gears.

    '88 Tow Truck Clutch issues

    Remove the top of the transmission, the shifter housing. Make sure all the shifter forks are in "neutral" postions

    MPG

    I'm getting around 6 mpg with my 489. I built it to come alive 2500 -6500 rpm, and that's where she stays 90% of the time. I base it off how many smiles per gallon not miles per gallon though!

    Anybody ever have a sticky throttle?

    The carb throttle shaft has an hiccup in it when you rotate it by hand?

    Have you swapped a 350 for a 454? Advice needed

    I must not be as hip as you hoss. But to answer you, thus was the case when I dropped my 489 in my truck. Plugged the waterpump off and at an idle it ran 20 degrees hotter then with the bypass hose installed.

    How quick is your Square?

    I am interested in trying this, I wonder what 489 & 3.73 would run, downside is the sm465

    Ive got a '05 2500 8.1L, I love it, constantly getting 12.5 to 13.5 mpg, plenty of low end torque, but, it does burn a bit of oil though
