    400 SBC vs 454 BBC

    The 400 has gotten a bad wrap. And yeah like is said the 406 i run in my monte has after market heads and i did not drill the steams holes..it will get up to 210 to 220 IF and only if i let it idle for a long time. This 406 isnt big in the horse power department but its a monster in low end/...

    400 SBC vs 454 BBC

    Other than outside dimensions there is very little similarity between a 350 and a 400. A 400 is externally ballanced and a 350 is internally ballanced. A 400 has larger main bearing journals. The bore and stroke of a 400 is nearly identicle to the bore and stroke of a 402 big block. So i...

    So i read in here how to test this controller by unplugging the harness from it and plugging it directly into the switch. I did that and my wipers now shut off as they should but no delay function. My question is where do i find a replacement controller? My parts guy cant get it and cant find...

    Camper special equipment question

    I notice the photo is of a regular cab and the vertical shocks appear to mount to the front fenders. On my crew cab theres no sign of anything ever being mounted there but there is a somewhat random 3/8" bolt in the pillar between the front and rear doors. Havent been able to figure what would...

    Mine has what looks like shock absorbers and the brackets on the cab and in the bed have ball and socket joints like what you would see on hood lift cylinders on newer vehicles.
