    Newbie Vortec Cam Question

    My combo is a GM crate 350. The low compression 250 HP version. I went with GM Vortech heads , summit long tubes, the Jeg's intake, eddy 650, MSD 6al and the GM HT 383 motor roller cam. This combo makes good torque even with 3:08's and a turbo 350 tranny. I spent the money on the roller set up...

    Newbie Vortec Cam Question

    Thats a lot of intake for a mild 350 build. Is it a single plane intake with a 3000 to 7000 rpm power band. :oops: Personally I would look for a cheap dual plane low rise intake for your build. Jeg's has a nice intake.

    Rear wheels are sucked in way more than front. K10. Adapters? BAD IDEA? pics inside

    I used front spacers on my 99 Camaro. Had to do this to run skinny tires and wheels. Front Runners. I did replace the stock wheel studs with ARP front and back.

    12 Valve swap

    There is a bunch of info on U-Tube of these builds. The first step is welding the front frame for added strength. Do to the weight of the engine and the torque it will produce. I think someone on here has a build thread going . You can do a search to try and find the thread.

    87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?

    You could make one with silicone adaptors , and flex line from spectra. Summit and Jegs carry these parts .

    Vacuum question 1986 K5 350

    What transmission is in the truck. If it's not a 700 then most of the vacuum sensers going to the transmission can be remover or capped.

    New tires and painted rims!

    I'm digging the headache rack with integrated bed rails. The wheels do look good. They are needing some dog dish caps. :cool:

    Headache rack ideas

    The ones that I've looked at fit the width of the bed fine . It's that they are a foot taller then the cab.

    Sealing the wiper motor connector, removing the delay module, and replacing the motor fixed my wipers.

    Cowl Hood

    Spectra makes an enclosed housing that has ducts which you run to the stock air inlet openings on the core support. It has a drop-down base. It might be worth looking into.

    Anybody have shorty headers?

    The Hookers are really nice. I think they need a pair of twins to go with them . Can you say TURBO's

    Anybody have shorty headers?

    Why go with a short type header? There's not much to gain over an exhaust manifold. IMHOP. I went with a Summit long tube on my K-10. But I'm the guy that does have shorties on my 04 2500 HD. I went with them because I didn't want to spend the $$ for new cats and messing with the factory SS...

    Lift kit

    Shocks make a big difference. I went from gas charged too hydraulic. The gas charged were stiff for everyday driving.

    Fuel Hose OK ?

    I used Jeg's Pro-Flo nylon braided hose with AN fittings from my fuel pump to the pressure regulator and carb. It's a little easier to work with than SS braided line. It will cut easier than SS. You have to secure it and keep it from rubbing against other components. It is NHRA accepted for use...

    New crate engine oil priming/ ignition timing impact if the distributor is mis-installed

    Lucus makes an ZDPD additive that you can add to the oil. It's in a 16 ounce bottle. I would add this to the oil every oil change. The RP oil should be fine for start up.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replaced the wiper motor on my truck. It has been a problem for several years. I learned that there is power always going to the motor when the key is on. The switch on the column grounds the wire, thus completing the circuit. The old motor wouldn't run on the high speed, and barely work on the...

    How is everyone making their wiring look not a mess under the hood.?

    I vote for the mesh split loom. I bought mine from Jeg's. It also works well on vacuum, rubber, and plastic lines. I prefer it over the plastic stuff.

    My 85 K-10 long bed has a 20 gal on the driver's side and a smaller tank on the pass. side. I'm thinking it is a 16 Gal.
