    K10 downsizing from 454 to 305 roller

    I think that if you eliminate the fuel injection from the 305 it will negate the mileage gains that you are looking for. The power to weight with 454s in these trucks results in better gas mileage than with a carbureted small blocks. Why don't you just put the money into low pressure fuel...

    Anyone have Bilstein shocks on their stock 4x4? Shock brand questions.

    I can't speak for a stock height, but for about 4.5 lift the Pro Comp Adjustables have been good and other SB owners said my truck rides nice.

    Headers for economy on 82 K10?

    Run what you have access to manifolds flow well, the ram horn style flow a little better. I picked up a fancy set of 50 state legal shorties from Edelbrock. But I only picked them up because I have a Edelbrock top end and fuel pump and wanted everything to match. In retrospect, long tubes flow...

    how to mount an amplifier behind behind front seat

    Here you go. JL 13" shallow truck sub with custom box to spec. with the seat all the way back. JL 600W Amp. Stinger Capacitor felt like I bought a bigger amp and stopped the dash from blinking when I turn it up loud. Kenwood 4x9s and Kenwoods in the dash too. If I could change anything it would...

    37s on a half ton with a 12 bolt with 4.10 gears

    Squarebody recipe: If you are gonna stay 12bolt back 10/12 bolt front with a 2-5inch lift I prefer 31-33s. At 3.08 the 33s will bog it down. 3.73s will wake it up and will run well with 35s. If you do the 3/4 setup go 17s with 375-305s < 4.10. If you do the one tons - crank out some cash; then...

    What happened to all the S10's

    I still daily a 99 short box, manual window, 4 bangar. Just rebuilt (overbuilt) the trans in hopes of a 5.3 or 4.8 swap in the next couple of years. She is a pretty truck, I get compliments and purchase offers daily.

    Synthetic Lubricants

    Every time I look into it I discover that it is Dinosaur oil for the axles, synthetic for everything else. Gears, rearend design, oiling system design all do not like- basically any rearend that did not have any electronic clutch packs from the factory. Also, stay away from flat-faced pumpkin...

    Carb air cleaners, thermacs, and spacers

    Sounds like a problem with a dropped base air cleaner. It has been proven that dropped and raised base air cleaners reduce HP/TORQ/CFM. Food for thought...

    How Fast Can A Squarebody Go?

    I used to drive a friend's minty 84 2wd Surbaban 350/400 factory setup through the mountains. Coming downhill I would crank it up to 90 before I felt that we would flip rounding the corners. It had some more pedal. :driver::headbang: On the other hand my 81 350/350c/281 4wd gears out about 80...
