Suburban Project- Need Help!
That will be just fine for your 350! I searched a bit too, and I came across this one on Amazon, I am VERY impressed with it. Easy to use, and you can literally move this engine (455 on it) around with 1 finger, it rolls so nice. I did not want to wait to get a stand (ya know, part of the...- OldBlueDually

8 bolt rims that are 16" & will fit hubcaps.....??
There, finally found some, and bought 6 of them. Now just to figure out what tire I should run on them. Here they are. https://www.ebay.com/itm/363079644326?ul_noapp=true I called up my alignment shop/tire place I use all the time, they are suggesting a 245 series tire to fit the 6.5"...- OldBlueDually

Engine Frame Mounts--455 Olds in 76 GMC--May have found something!!??
Ah, no worries man, we don't know each other that well so no offense taken in the least! Thanks for the comment, it is a very cool truck, unique in its own way. I love the fact it is a "dually kit"....I haven't seen any before, so I am leaving it that way with those rims & I will shine up the...- OldBlueDually

Engine Frame Mounts--455 Olds in 76 GMC--May have found something!!??
@Ricko1966 I have an engine from a '69 Olds. It has 3 bolts each side on the block to move the mount one way or the other. I was told I need to find the 78 to 80 GM diesel mounts, these new ones look damned near correct, but I'm not sure. If you go to Speedways website and see the different...- OldBlueDually

Gents, I need your input. I have been on the search for engine to frame mounts for my truck. I was told the 1978 to 1980 GM trucks with the Olds 350 Diesel will work. I want to know, do these Speedway ones look like the originals? They sure look spot on to me. Any opinions on this, I just want...- OldBlueDually

8 bolt rims that are 16" & will fit hubcaps.....??
The ones I have been finding have a crap ton of rust, or they have tires mounted on them the people won't remove and I don't want to drive all over to pick stuff up. Local yards did not have anything either. Sucks.- OldBlueDually

@80BrownK10 @Vbb199 Good information to know!!! Thanks guys! I burned up the original TH400 behind this 455 back in '07....talking with my car cruising friends/hot rodders they think it is because I did not have my kickdown wired up. This 455 & TH400 was in my 51 Ford truck, barely made it...- OldBlueDually

@80BrownK10 & @Vbb199 So what is the proper stuff to run in an automatic 3 speed TH350 that has a 2,000 stall converter?

Need advice--Camshaft degree issue (maybe??)
@QBuff02 @MikeB @jeff406cid @shiftpro I think I got it this time!!! Close enough! I put on my new Cloyes timing gear set (BTW there was NOT 3 holes in the upper gear as the picture shows), but the 9 keyways with 2 degree cuts really helped. I first did it to "stock" setting, and my number...- OldBlueDually
