    Cylinders washed need help

    It’s a Holley 600 cfm street warrior, when it first ran the accelerator pump was way off but did run fine just high idle, if I lean it out and set the accelerator pump and idle to a factory setting would you recommend trying to start it or are there other steps first?

    Cylinders washed need help

    I didn’t at the time but I just pulled #1 plug and this is how it looks. I honestly don’t think there could’ve been much that got past either but it’s basically it a fresh motor and don’t want to do any damage.

    Cylinders washed need help

    I’ve recently completed my Sbc swap and just threw a new carb on it and it fired right up but was running a little rich, I went out yesterday to adjust the carb and I couldn’t get it to start after leaning it out (it was also very cold out) so played around with it and put it back to where it...

    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    Oh ok, mine only ever had one line off so wasn’t much air. Mine was almost a grinding noise but slowly went to a whistle and now nothing. But I assume I didn’t have much air in the system which is probably why it was so easy to bleed

    Is yours almost a grinding noise or a whistle?

    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    I didn't get around to doing a proper bleed tonight but while messing with the carb and had it running for a while I took the cap off for about a minute and forgot about it totally, but now thinking back the sound went away. not sure how long it took to go away but it’s not there currently.

    Holley street warrior 600cfm for sbc 355?

    I ended up buying the carb anyway due to the steal of a price I got it for, so will see how it preforms, worst case I can sell it for at least what I paid and can go with one of the other options mentioned (At least it looks good on there lol)

    Holley street warrior 600cfm for sbc 355?

    Thank you for the input, I did notice the drivers side inlet which isn’t the biggest deal but is definitely inconvenient for making things look neat and clean

    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    I haven’t tried yet, the truck was running with the diesel and everything worked properly until I did the swap so air would definitely make sense, I’m going to bleed it and see what happens, I just didn’t think air would produce that much noise but starting to seem like that’s what it is

    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    I have just completed a Oldsmobile diesel to sbc 355 swap and on my first start every sounded great but the first time I pushed my brakes in it make a grinding noise, and would go away when I let off, I’ve had the truck running about 10 times since then and would come on randomly at idle, now...

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    Thank you! Really appreciate it. I have all the papers on this truck and know the history very well and very pleased with the fact it has little to no rust being all original and being made at the Oshawa plant in Ontario and never left Ontario, sat for 15 years in the early 90s so not much...

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    I have now got the truck running and going through the struggles of tuning now but it took me longer than I was hoping to get to this point so my plan is to run the one tank for now (hoping to drive the truck once or twice before the roads are salted) and will mess with the other one in the...

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    Ya I’m actually not sure if mine works or not as I only drove it a few times before doing the swap so will leave it for now. What’s your brake booster situation? I don’t see any traditional brake booster like the gas trucks came with.

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    I think it’s because it was originally a diesel, seems to have twice as much **** when it comes to wires and stuff

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    Ya there is a lot alike, what’s your opinion on what to do with the cruise control vacuum lines, is it possible to make that one line and run it to the carb?

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    Yes it is a steel line up until the top of the passenger valve cover and I was going to run rubber hose from there to the intake if that seems alright?

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    Yes I believe that’s the cruise control

    Sbc 350 vacuum hose help

    Hey guys, just finishing my olds diesel to sbc 350 in my 1981 sierra and I noticed two vacuum lines that I’m not sure where they need to go. I’m assuming the small trans line goes to the manifold port on the back of the intake and thought these went to the carb but there’s two lines so not sure...
