    Nick +1 I own a custom built non-lockup 700R4. Read my sig slogan, at the bottom of my post carefully... Removing the electronics and installing a non-lockup Transgo kit, IS NOT THE SAME as unplugging the connector and running without a lockup, on a locking converter. You also remove the...

    Here's the component that is stuck bucket. The pictures will not upload to our email conversation, so I posted them here. All the Plugs are brown. The star stud broke off. I'll cut it clean at the casting side, so you can gently press the stud out from the rear side and slot the end of the...

    Y-Pipe and a Cat: The O2 has been removed. The rear section is near mint condition and available. I can box it using large boxes, but it could be cut and welded to make it easier. The tail pipe and the last bend make it tough to ship affordably. Let me know if you want the rear section ASAP...

    Alloy works radiators

    3-4 really has to do with your A/C system and ETG... are you injected or carb'ed? How much heat are your heads dealing with at the exhaust, under full load? If you don't know, any answer is a best guess... If you run a quality thermal control switch and a pair of good quality electric fans...

    New crate engine oil priming/ ignition timing impact if the distributor is mis-installed

    These work well using a drill... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/arp-130-8802 Less expensive version: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-901015 It is excellent for aligning the shaft for distributor timing too. Saved me from fighting the drive gear...

    New TBI injectors causing surging

    Yah... take off the IACV and screw it back out a few turns and try again, if MarineOne 's suggestion doesn't work. The electronic motor on the IACV can be shot... if it got ruined from a bad ECM. Check your grounds, everywhere... Check the IACV connector does not have a water leak or rewire it...

    Blower fan/relay

    Hard wire your blower directly to the battery. Fuse it. Use a real quality 12v switch and a new heater blower resistor unit... 3 different wires on the circuit connector... Replace the dssh switch if it's bad. Consider a 12v on/off switch instead of the three way or buy a 3-way for a Peterbuilt...

    Timing light recommendations

    D-Cell light will not conflict with internal voltage issues and give you a proper ignition reading. Do not buy anything that connects to your battery for accurate readings. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00063WM1Q/

    454 vortec heads: which gaskets to use

    Inertia, during lift, on a roller cam, will kill your cam, if you don't know what your doing. Don't freak out: Ask an expert... Oiling is everything... Never cut corners with oiling... Every lifter is actually an oil filter and an oil pump. Never buy cheap, or the wrong volume / pressure OIL...

    454 vortec heads: which gaskets to use

    There are a lot of people selling aluminum, "who" do not want you to buy cast iron. Period. If you ever blow a hose, have a cooling system air bubble or a thermostat stick, (on a long drive), the threshold and the curve of heat to metal fatige ratio of a cast iron head vs aluminum, is not even...

    Block question

    I would suggest, without expert knowledge, this is casting flash which needs to be cleared from the opening. Use a Dremel or a round file or better yet a carbide end mill and clean that mess up. At the very least, if this was supposed to be blocked off, and the threads were never supposed to be...

    Mark IV 454 Engine Build

    My truck engine has had catastrophic failure from the oil intake tube disconnecting from the oil pump, due to sub-standard brazing by GM. The engine rebuild project is done, because I cannot afford to rebuild the engine from scratch, requiring a complete re-machine overhaul. I am parting out...
