    Bent Frame

    Ya I was even thinking of using a 2wd 1 ton and installing my 4x4 cross members in the front. I would still have my bent frame to reference to for measurements and for spare parts. I have a pair of 3/4 ton 56" springs and a 52" set as well as a 1/2 ton 52" set. I can swap the 3/4 ton spring...

    Sport rear bumper interchangability

    No those are completely different bumpers. The square body fleetside rear sport bumper wraps around the sides very similar to the front bumper. The G20 bumper does look an awful lot like the stepside short box rear bumper though

    Another option would be to verify if you do indeed have a roller bloc, and if you do phone Comp Cams themselves and ask what they have that would work well in a roller form for your application. I myself am curious to see if they would recommend something else or not? It is curious too that...

    Bad Combo?

    Ya you will be fine for quite a while with an off idle(750-4500) cam. I doubt if you would ever need to change it. But could definitely be something to address if you ever upgrade your transmission. By the way what do you have for a tranny? LOL Im not saying that you shouldn't explore the...

    Bent Frame

    So upon further investigation it seems that both rails from the cab support cross member forward are actually twisted. Not sure how I missed this. On top of that the drivers side has a good sway to it. So..... I think Im gonna ditch this frame and try and find something straight! I've been...

    And I do not believe they block that rear vacuum port any more then any other carb would???

    Bad Combo?

    All the roller cams I have looked at state that they are for 1500 + RPM. I can not find any that are for off idle. And yes I agree roller cams are better for many reasons...but...they were also accompanied by a minimum 4 gears +. The cars now days are designed to stay in that sweet spot by...

    Bad Combo?

    If you can find an EPS manifold for 87'-95' heads I would like to know? I cant find one in my catalogue. They make them for pre 86' and Vortec heads but not for TBI. They make a performer RPM intake for the TBI heads which is pretty close to the EPS but it is 1500-6500 RPM

    31s or 32s?

    You should be able to fit a 285/75R16 tire with out rubbing. Depends if your springs are sagged, I guess?

    Bad Combo?

    It should be good I think. The stock 350 only flows like 550cfm so I think it should still be good with 625. I have Edelbrock's 1806 which is 650cfm and that's why I bought it rather then a 1406 600cfm. However I like the design of that 625 street demon way better then this Eddy carb. When you...

    Front of the carburetor. Use the lowest 1/4" vacuum port. Connect directly to the vacuum can on the dizzy.

    Bad Combo?

    Most don't even bother with the cover. But I have a few times I thought "Oh it has a cover it must have the provision" only to find out that it does not and for some reason it had a cover on.

    Bad Combo?

    I have an Edelbrock 1806 and a stock mechanical fuel pump. But I still run a fuel regulator($45) just for peace for mind and I keep it set to 5 psi. So IMO either way its nice to have the fuel regulator. A mechanical fuel pump is about the same cost as a lower priced fuel regulator. So in the...

    Bad Combo?

    You can not retro fit the newer roller assembly from a roller block into a non roller block. The block is cast differently to accept the factory roller assembly. If you want rollers in a non roller block you have to use a roller conversion kit where the rollers are tied together. The roller...

    Bad Combo?

    The junk yard cam swap is a good idea for roller engines! The only problem would be finding one in good shape and obviously finding one that is a performance grind. But otherwise a good idea for on the cheap performance. Though sometimes its invaluable having a cam card to reference when adding...

    Bad Combo?

    The problem is that no roller cam has a torque curve from off idle. All roller cams are from 1500 RPM up. You will find that a lot of blocks from 87 up have the cast in fuel pump boss and a cover sometimes, but when you remove the cover most likely you will find that the area is cast in. So...

    Cowl hood

    Ive always thought that a 1" cowl with slightly beveled sides with out the center crease would look good on a square ???

    Also if you go with a 1/4" larger size tail pipe it helps improve flow and sounds better.

    Bad Combo?

    That looks alright cause they are tucked up nice and close to the frame. You might be able to see them though looking at the truck from the side. So I don't know if you care about that or not. It definitely would make it a lot less hassle and a whole lot less bending that way for sure. As...

    Bad Combo?

    No more need for cats! Throw those things away! You wont need an O2 sensor either. Those are items required by an ECM. No need for those with a carb!
