    ANYONE USED VORTEC HIGH SWIRL HEADS ON THEIR GEN-I SBC?

    Aftermarket manifolds are limited, expensive and suck with a carburetor because they have no heat crossover. The heads are heavy and have limited spring clearance, around .450 lift I believe. They are prone to cracking and the water pump bypass is required. At the time they were made, they were...

    350 tbi running too cold

    Interesting. I have never seen a stat like that. I'm curious how it works and why it exists.

    1987 R10 carrier bearing

    The carrier bearing doesn't carry any load except a small amount of axial load. I'm more interested in how your getting 700 hp out of a 350 TBI?

    Let’s slay this dragon…

    I'm not sure what the "wiring manual" looks like. It does show every circuit for all available options gas or diesel. I find it much easier to decipher on big 14 x 20 inch paper rather than on a screen.

    Looks like spaghetti has replaced the traditional turkey meal? You can get a wiring schematic from LMC for cheap. It's worth it.

    Electronic Shift NP203/NP205 Doubler

    I don't know how to agree with you now that I have Dakota Digital, Vintage Air, Multiport EFI, Self Dimming Mirror and Bluetooth Stereo. I mean I agree but that makes me a hypocrite. :shrug:

    Shift levers are manly. Push buttons are not.

    350 tbi running too cold

    Assuming your gauge is accurate, I'd say yes. Sounds like its hanging in the open position. It should open and close within 10 degrees of it's rating. I had this happen last winter with similar symptoms and my EFI wouldn't go into closed loop. Turned out the rubber gasket on the radiator cap...

    350 tbi running too cold

    If its running less than 195 with a 195 stat, the stat is bad, the sending unit is bad or your gauge is defective.

    WebMonkey's latest melt down, poor ol' me, hissy fit. (yes, I'm WebMonkey)

    An LS swap won't fix your brake or ambient temperature dilemma but it will make you care about them a whole lot less.

    Changing gear ratios: opinions/suggestions wanted!!

    This thread is a rabbit hole. lol. Having done about 95% of what everyone has suggested I can tell you what I settled on. But as was stated, different strokes for different folks. I will say this; it's like that song about bones, they are all connected. Gaining OD is great until you realize your...

    Anyone running Wilwood clutch master

    Why not keep it simple and use OEM replacement parts? I got the master, slave and hose from Rockauto. Price was pretty cheap actually and it's worked flawless for 2+ years. What year is your truck? Is this a transplant?

    Welcome. An LS swap and a pacemaker and all will be well.

    No, I avg 15 but nobody would believe me so I don't bring it up. I figure my return on investment should take about another 20 years. Lol

    Huck's daily - 2005 Z71 crewcab

    My first thought was going to be LS Swap. But, I guess you will have to settle for an LS upgrade to a 6.0 :laughing1: Looks pretty clean. I can honestly say that's the first Cat Eye I have ever seen where the front bumper/fascia doesn't look like it's having a stroke :sad72: I don't know what it...

    There's still only two types of men. Those who get 10-12 MPG and those who lie about it. Prove me wrong.:waytogo:

    New build 454 and the wife hates the exhaust smell

    People tend to think that EFI is precise and therefore there is little to no emissions. Wrong. It's much better than a carb by design but any internal combustion engine produces emissions regardless of the AFR. After putting PF4 on my truck my buddy asked me why it still stunk. I could only...
