    Newbie Vortec Cam Question

    Tim that truck, she a hottie, real nice. I build engines, lots of good advice so far. Since you want to get this running cheap, I would buy a US based DUAL PLANE intake that is compatible with whatever heads you have. Bolt on those headers, and end it. You will gain some compression with the...

    Sad Discovery: GM 10 Bolt Fails

    That ring gear looks amazingly undamaged. Just to throw this out, a lunchbox locker replaces your spiders, and gives you a locker. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/1973-k20-350-to-454-swap.29840/page-3 This is a step by step method, this is a 14 FF, 12 bolt similar. Begins with post 38.

    I like a clean engine bay, Buy some oven cleaner, Zep purple power, or what ever you use to degrease and clean that engine bay and Paint it. This will really make a difference, and make you smile every time you show off the engine. Man, that looks like fun to me. Also, as you already know, your...

    Solid is just that, hydraulic has an oil cushion, like a tiny hydraulic cylinder, (gross explanation,) Roller have....rollers. Each have advantages and disadvantages. For your build, a flat tappet, (VS a "Roller",) Hyd would be my choice..as this type is much less work to maintain. Hydraulic...

    Quinn keep that 700r4, it’s a good transmission for what you want to do, perfect really. The 4l80e is an od th400 very strong, but I just use them to last under higher hp rigs. I did a build like you want years age, 20 over 350 so 355 hyperutectec speed pro pistons, weiand intake, Holly 650 carb...

    Want to build a good horsepower, good fuel economy engine for a 1978 c20 with stock 350. I don't know much and need help.

    I am always interested in these conversations. Engine thermal efficiency usually is less than 100%, but not always. The use of computers are a help, because many engine dynamics can be controlled precisely. AR ratios, timing curve, etc. some old car had an overdrive, which was touted to get...

    C10 2nd Gen Cargo Springs

    I’ve been messing with those trucks for fifty years. 3100= 1/2 ton. All were outfitted with leaf springs front and rear. 216 or 235 motor likely. Great trucks. I still have three.

    New For Me 1985 Silverado 20 6.2 Diesel

    Well, I drove the truck on my weekly town trip. Got Classic tags, so I don't ever have to buy tags, so now all my vehicles are Classic, kinda like Me. Anyway lots of stops and etc, many starts, and the only trouble is waiting for the glow plug light to go out. Cruse control is great. Got a few...

    New door seals, new problems.

    The last pic looks like the front of the doors, (hinge side) could be in which pushes the back out at a slight angle, which in turn makes it stick out in the back. When I took off my door, (which fit well,) there were fender/body shims behind the hinge bolts. I have bought lots of stuff from...
