    Vortec 454 7.4l vs Vortec 496 8.1l

    If you really want to get into head swapping and all that, like, legitimately spend 3 or 4k and build a 5, 600 hp N/A engine, the 454 is a better base. If you just want to tow your junk on cheap gas, the 8.1 all day. You don't need Raylar at all to make nearly 600 ft/lbs of torque. They...

    Light bucket assembly

    I having a ridiculously difficult time with this. I think I have the wrong bezels or something, because if this light bucket is assembled correctly,then my bezel doesn't line up with the holes at all.

    5.3 or 6.0 ?

    I've had fine luck buying them on pallets, I've also sold them on pallets. You win some, you lose some I guess. I do agree a total donor is a good way to go if you have the space.

    5.3 or 6.0 ?

    New Holland Ohio, but he's really not unique, there are a half dozen guy's parting out GMT800 trucks daily around me in Central Michigan. Two of them I know of will happily load whatever onto a pallet and drop it off at a Fastenal. Where there's a will there's a way. I get in my truck and...

    Skip White Distributors

    I've had great luck with exactly this type of distributor in this price range. Once upon a time, I bought one for a 351w, then like 5 days later found a MSD Streetfire NIB on Craigslist. I went to buy the MSD for "peace of mind". The no name one and the MSD were in the same box. MSD just had a...

    Skip White Distributors

    I guess not. The market is pretty well flooded with imports now. I've had good luck with no name imports as well as Skip White.

    New to Square body.. electrical nightmare...

    I have to agree. I'm riding around now with a basic fuseblock and push button starter, and to really start getting relays and wiring everything up.. I'd easily get into it for 250-300 bucks pretty quick.

    Who makes the best dash pad?

    Takes about 225 bucks in Central Michigan. Of course, I had to call 53 places to get that price and find someone even willing to do it.

    bad camshafts on 305's,,?

    What I did with it was left it right wherever it was and drove on home. I bought a 78 K5 about 15 years ago in Arizona, lost 3 lobes on the way home to Ohio in Van Zandt Texas. Parked it in the back corner of a truck stop there and spent 2 days walking down the little main drag to Car Quest to...

    Drum Brake help

    It looks like the parking brake strut isn't available, at least at Rock auto. Probably shouldn't have tossed everything lol.

    Drum Brake help

    I knew they were complex... I seriously think drum brakes are proof aliens have interfered with our development as a species... How do you come up with this gobbleydegook before a simple caliper pressing on a disc??

    Drum Brake help

    I'm not really nearly as familiar with drum brakes as I should be. Throughout the years I've tended to just pull it all off and disc swap everything. That was my intention with the C10 as well, but I have no brakes at all now in the rear, and I think that's something I can rectify for like 100...

    Quadrajet to Edelbrock Carb

    The last time I swapped a square to an Edelbrock, which has been at least 10 years now, I had an issue with the adapter I used. The carb butterflies were hitting the intake or the adapter, I don't recall which. I could only get like 1/2 throttle though. I wound up getting a matching...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    FWIW, if you didn't know, that panel and controller are under 100 bucks together. But it's a cool bugout shell.
