    Crate SBC 350 installation plan

    Like Ali-20 said, Install the trans with the motor, and put the trans dipstick tube in first, as it is very difficult getting it in there after it is in. Also use two orings on the tube, helps seal.

    3 on the tree

    Having come from a 47-54 first series chevy trucks, (got to get rid of a few I still have...) background, I lived with those for thirty years. Those trucks had the linkage right on the top of the steering column, with a little box that you could adjust if the dogs got out of alignment. It...

    Should I Drive My Truck To OBX For Our Annual Beach Vacation

    Have taken mine to Bonneville a few times, way more salt, wash the heck out of it when I got home. The guys down there have some spray on stuff they use B-4 going out, but I don't know what it is. Hey man, make some memories, enjoy your family, then wash her down.

    Clear coating over patina: anybody done it?

    Made a huge difference with my 85...Used a Milwaukee orbital polisher, and polish, then carnuba wax. I plan to wax it at least twice a year maybe more. Only takes an hour, and uses 1/4 the wax, makes ya feel good, doin' the ol' truck right.

    DoubleD, I have a Yukon lunchbox locker, 4:10 350 turbo, 454, 12" 33's and it has been unbreakable. Off road, with big loads of wood, untold burnouts, it has never let me down. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/1973-k20-350-to-454-swap.29840/page-3 Start at post 35 for a pictorial install...

    Ethanol varnish residue: Carb vs EFI

    I use seafoam in anything that will not get used on a regular basis like generators, pumps. My fire control pump was giving me fits, took it to a guy that repairs small engines that i've known for a long time. He said use sea foam, and I have been doing that, nothing worse than having a fire...

    Biggest jobs you have completed in the shortest amount of time.

    My school friend, had a 64 nove with 4:56 gears. Each evening the State patrol would park at the feed store, everybody with fast cars knew this. Anyway Rob and I pulled up to the feed store, and laid one down, and the chase was on. That Stater could drive, but so could Robbie, that 283 was...

    Th350 spews fluid

    I used this when I rebuilt my 350, as there was a bunch of broken parts. I like that this will screw right onto your lines, and flush the whole system. Then just blow out with compressed air.

    This is a coolant leak right?

    Took my 86 rad to get it fixed, but was bad corroded, many tiny holes. Your truck looks like it does not have air, so very easy to fix. I bought a new rad through the shop that I took my radiator to, about $570, but with care, should out last me.

    Valve seals for camel hump heads?

    ChuckN, the enforcer heads use the same components as the higher priced heads, top notch. I used David Vizards book porting small block chevy heads on a set of 194's, that was 30 years ago. Still got the engine, still runs awesome, and I am the type of guy that can't keep my foot out of it, the...

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    The last four engines I have built all had flat tappat cams. I have had zero problems I’ve used Crower and Iske that doesn’t mean that Comp, Howard and Lunati are no good. It’s absolutely how you put it together and how you break it in. Pay attention to installed height, measure each spring...

    Radiator condenser combo.

    Well momma and I are disappointed that we will not be able to take the 85 to Kentucky to move my niece back to WA. Just not enough time to get everything fixed, the tank wiring is all messed up, and with Air, the dash is full oh ducting, hard to trace the wires. I did replace the rocker switch...

    New For Me 1985 Silverado 20 6.2 Diesel

    Not having fun with the fuel system as the PO really did a number on the wiring underneath, but I think I got the new switch in right. Reinstalled all the dash but the pad, put in LED bulbs, brightened it up dramatically. I have to install the switching valve, and the tanks. I am using the old...
