    Which carb to buy?

    Agreed, its damm near impossible to rebuild one of those things and it run right, of course there's 30 guys on here that did it. My opinion of a quadrojet, and Ricko touched on it, they are fine when you buy new truck or car, but once it needs to be gone thru its best to throw it in the garbage...

    Removing Smog on a 81 305

    Was not aware they ever put a 305 in a 3/4T truck, wtf were they thinking. Are we sure its not a 350, I mean a damm 05 would barely pull the truck alone much less w a trailer or a load in back. If in fact a 05 i'd throw it away as fast as I could before I spent money on it

    8.1 Vortec 496 Gas Or 5.9 Cummins Diesel For A 1983 C20 4 Door Dually With A Turbo 400 3 Speed Auto

    I would rebuild the BB you already have, 30 over, intake carb LT headers a good cam and heads. You'd easily see 500hp at the flywheel or more, and if done right you be good for another 200k easy. So easy to make big power w those old 454's

    700r4 from 84 c3 vette ?

    Guys this 700 has already been built up. When the motor was done and it put out so much hp first thing that happened was it blew the tranny. My uncle had it gone through and built up to hold 600hp. They got that all put back together and then the whole dash blew out. This was the first vette w...

    700r4 from 84 c3 vette ?

    thanks man, I hear the 84, and 85 700 is the same but starting in 86 they changed something. I think since i will be pulling motor and tranny at one time out of the Vette prolly should do the same w the truck, then i can just set it in place and have a look see. I had just put an aluminum intake...

    700r4 from 84 c3 vette ?

    damm man thats good news. So from reading i take it when the truck shows to be in drive in the little window behind steering wheel it will actually be in OD, and if i pull it down to 2 it will be in drive. So no need for any wiring at all, i thought i had to run something to the carb, which is...

    700r4 from 84 c3 vette ?

    Matt, thanks for the info. I would rather pay somebody to do the output shaft swap. So to get the one I need do I go to a junkyard, wonder if they would trade me out, I would think the vette one would be worth more but not sure. I read I'm gonna need to move my cross member back about 2 inches...

    Hurricane Harvey ruined 2 of my trucks w LS motors. I bought 2 from Patterson Wrecking at 400ea, both came wrapped in plastic on pallets, one had 70k the other82k. Both still going strong, he is on eBay and guarantees his motors. If the donor truck is not too badly damaged he does a video before...

    Vortec 454 7.4l vs Vortec 496 8.1l

    Nothing better than an old square w a BB motor putting out 600hp. That's the most fun I ever had w any vehicle, including all kinds of sports cars. Mine was a 76, had rust, dents, trim falling off. It was so easy to get a run, hell anybody you pulled up next to would go, they'd take me from the...
