    8.1 vortec into 1979 k30

    if its mostly or only non magnetic that suggests the engines bearings which means crankshaft and rod bearings to me, if you still have good oil pressure (camshaft) I dont know what pressure you did have. but maybe someone without actually doing anywork slapped bearings on the crank...

    you appear to have a Cs130D alternator, id recommend a AD244 if you dont already. The 4 pin above will work. but id really recommend using 3 of the 4 cavities if you have a stock computer running the engine, if you have an aftermarket computer 4 may be useful, and if not a comptuer, then id...

    are you able to find a flange bolt in that size instead? if you could order one from mcmaster carr or something you could probably order powder coated and with a shoulder thats not threaded

    excellent, make sure to measure the depth of the threads because just a little fluid in a bracket threaded area or a little extra torque at the botttom you could break it But measuring depth willl be the wise way to avoid problems

    i was gonna say, having the diameter of the threaded portion being just large enough to allow it over the bolt with minimal play is probably smart.. also, id be taking into account how much of the threaded portion of the bolt is actually going into the bracket. its threaded aluminum. if its not...

    Gas Filler Relocation

    this is obviously nonsense but careful what you wish for! Vented gas cap? Dont do it. You need to seal the area or youre putting a lot of mud and rocks in your bed You should just replace the bedside if you have any spares or you should graft an opening.

    Hydroboost - Hard Pedal

    the 8.1 pump settings are different than the 6.0 for the HD, and possibly the diesels too. The pumps would be the same just not the reservoirs and the valve/orifice Heres a below pic to see how the pumps hoses and the gear lines run around

    Hydroboost - Hard Pedal

    the 8.1 had the capability of coming with vacuum brakes im pretty sure, its the only rngine that didnt need a SBA in addition to the 4.3 iirc. which means the pump needs to be orificed to the hydroboost standards Also i forgot you were the 8.1 guy with the extended reservoir opening. is your...

    1981 G30 van. Looking for wire harness replacement options.

    the dog house and the routing of wires will be changed at least somewhat, but the biggest things will make it hate your life. the simple short nature of the battery cable alone wont help you much.

    Hydroboost - Hard Pedal

    it sounds like the hydroboost unit is defective. did you modify your pump so you had more flow and pressure? If you dont modfiy the non hydroboost pumps you arent gonna have enough flow, this issue sounds like your filling the circuit with fluid and then braking its already present factory...
