    Vortec bottom end/TBI top end: timing?

    What i would do, is roll the engine over to TDC. Put a straw or something down the spark plug hole,or if you have a bore scope even better. Get the cylinder right at top deap, and middle of its dwell period, and see where your timing mark on the balancer sits against the timing cover. If it...

    5 speed 4x4 transmission

    Fun fact about the NV3500/HM290. It has an identical case lenght and mount style as both a 4x4 700r4, and the later SM465 with the long 6 bolt round transfer case adpater. I took lot of measurements and itd be a near direct swap for both my 92 burb and my 86 k1500. Good to know for those who do...

    5 speed 4x4 transmission

    They did come in 4x4 style, thats what mine and my back up trans are. Just a matter of finding one is the hard part Im sure. As far as converting a 2wd one, you would need the 4x4 output shaft, and you'd need to take it all apart and rebuild it to swap the output shaft. You'd also need the...

    5 speed 4x4 transmission

    As far as relatively common to find, and easy to install with little to no modifications needed.... NV4500. 92 to 98 that i know of, but i think they came in the NBS and Cateyes too.Pre '95 had a granny low 1st, post '95 had a higher gear 1st. All were OD 5th. NV3500 or HM290 would bolt up as...

    Paddle / Camper special mirror gasket and glass replacement

    Those look familiar, haha. Well if they were for me or one of my toys, i would gladly buy them back from you, but these are going for a client. And he won't care if they're original or the cheapy plastic ones, so i think ill go that route. Plus i know this guy,im sure he'll smash them off in...

    Paddle / Camper special mirror gasket and glass replacement

    I may go with that option. I have one of those cheapy mirrors in my stash, and i think they sell them at my local parts store. Thatd be easiest..

    Paddle / Camper special mirror gasket and glass replacement

    Haha, thats funny. That made me smile. Life's just been very hectic and very busy. Lot going on, been in a weird head space. All is well, just trying to get back into the swing of things. Good to check back in for a bit. And yeah, hes not been super text chatty either, hahaha.

    Paddle / Camper special mirror gasket and glass replacement

    Good idea. The gasket is the hard part though. Nothing to mount the glass to

Ive never changed out this style of mirror. where can you get the rubber gasket and the glass? What is that gasket even called? I cant find it anywhere online. Also...

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    Yeah i was suprised too. My 98 is a 350 vortec. Im glad i measured the distance to the throwout bearing before i installed the trans

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    Thats awesome to know. That saves me having to figure out what to buy. And i actaully have the old pressure plate off my 98, it might work. It looks like the one in your picture.

    SM465 swap into 92 suburban.

    My buddy has a c20 service rig with ridiculously under geared rear. He cruises around and does burnouts in low. We've done 140 in that thing on the highway.

    SM465 swap into 92 suburban.

    My 86 is 4:10 rear, and i use low gear 1st alot. Usually around the yard or when towing. Not usually in town just driving around. In my burb it should be even more usable.

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    So you kept your stock 80s flywheel on your truck, and only changed pressure plates? That worked okay?

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    On that truck, the stock 98 flywheel was offset really far to the block. The difference between a 98 and 95 flywheel was almost a half inch. Between the flywheel, amd pressure plate change, it was about inch and an eighth thicker..

    SM465 swap into 92 suburban.

    Could you take a pic of it, if you get a chance? No rush.. I have a stack of bellhousings, wondering if i have one. Doubt it but who knows.

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    Ah interesting. I was wondering. I just recently replaced the NV4500 in my 98 with one from a 95. I figured one for one swap, be easy. Nope. 95 is an external slave, 98 is an internal slave cylinder. Required me to get a new flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate. Bellhousings don't swap...

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    I gotcha.. I have the orginal 11inch clutch and pressure plate off my 305. I should bolt them up to a flywheel and put them in the trans, see if they fit well..
