    Sm465 not shifting

    Don’t mean to off topic or thread jack but you can float shift the 465 ? I’ve only been able to do it from 3rd to 4th, can you float shift from 2ns to 3rd or 1st to 2nd ?

    Gauge Cluster Swap

One thing I snagged was the gauge cluster as it has actual gauges instead of the warning light system I have. The donor truck is a 1979 c20 custom deluxe key truck is a 1977 k10 custom deluxe. The...

    K10 lift kit fit 1 ton axles ?

    I've done some looking on here and another sb site and have heard that it is weaker than springs. Mainly due to the fact that they are hung down and such. No clue if it's TRUE or not just have I've seen here and there. I'm just planning on an all spring lift for simplicity of buying and...

    400 SBC vs 454 BBC

    Yea I can see that the cylinders are siamesed along with little meat to them compared to my 454. Doesn't mean it's a bad motor just have to be careful with it. I am planning on using the 454 but the 400 will probably go in a smaller car for drag racing or street/strip.

    Yea just having a 400 in it would be cool as hell to me but for it to have the torque I'm thinking I'll need offroad a 454 is looking like a better choice

    400 SBC vs 454 BBC

    Yea I've done some reading on the 400 and kind of like the 400. But I would like to be in the upper 400s for hp/torque, forgot to say that in opening post my bad, and I know that is much easier with the bbc. But I know that a 400 SBC isn't too far off in terms of torque. It's a bare block...
