    Howdy all! I have an 85 454/th400 suburban and my first travel trailer pull (6miles in) caused me to puke out new tranny fluid out the vent tubes. The fluid came out burnt and black so I’m guessing the clutches are shot. Should I rebuild this thing (much cheaper?) or swap to a 4l80e (new shaft...

    New build 454 and the wife hates the exhaust smell

    Sniper II and it runs perfect thus far. Exhaust exits behind both rear wheels. Exhaust smell does come in the cabin especially when sitting at a light for a bit. On the highway it is good.

    New build 454 and the wife hates the exhaust smell

    A few weeks. I was just curious on how much (if any) a high flow cat might cut down on the stink?

    Can’t find a heater core for my c20 suburban…

    Already did, it has ac but it looks like an aftermarket ara system. The non ac heater cores are way smaller than the one in this truck.

    Bolts were really loose. Some were down to only 5 foot pounds when spec is 25. Hopefully it solves it.

    454 engine rebuild and intake gasket leak

    the heads were cleaned and machined, all new gaskets everywhere, and a new edelbrock air gap intake. I’m about to go retorque everything because we haven’t checked that post heat cycles. Wonder if that could be it?

    454 engine rebuild and intake gasket leak

    Howdy all, I have an 85 454 we just rebuilt for my truck and we put 100 miles on it and the new intake gasket is leaking. It has an edelbrock air gap intake and we used a felpro intake set for it. Would something else work better? What a pain…

    85 suburban ps pump, can I use a newer pump?

    Howdy! I have an 85 454 suburban and we are rebuilding everything on it. The pump is the last thing to be replaced and it has a remote reservoir. Can I use a newer style pump (90’s) with integrated reservoir that will still work with the factory lines and bracket?
