    HELP proportioning valve location

    Mine is located on the frame front. I couldn't find it for a while until I installed a new one.

    Drove while 2 quarts low on oil

    Do you mean valve cover gaskets or valve guide seals?

    AC or not to Ac is the question

    I took all of the HVAC stuff off of my 78 K5. I live in a temperate area and don't see the need for all of the complications and gas consumption. It really cleaned up the engine compartment.

    Swapping the 350 for a Crate

    That is overkill for that engine. The 4l60 will handle about 350-400HP

    What do I need for a fuel pump replacement?

    I would replace the pushrod. Why take a shower and put on dirty underwear? I'm not familiar with a mounting plate. Maybe I was just not paying attention.

    Aluminum head thoughts

    I have an older Brodix head that works well on my 383. I assume you are taking the piston configuration account. That will, of course, affect the CR. As a side note, if you're completely rebuilding your 350, for a few sheckles more you can convert it to a 383 and have a torque monster.

    What type of transfer case do I have in my truck ?

    The 205 is a stronger case and eliminates the chain, however, you may have to install locking hubs.

    Swapping the 350 for a Crate

    Agreed. I have always favored the 700r4 or the 4l60, but, I'm old school. It's great to be able to put in low rear gears and still be comfortable on the highway.

    Swapping the 350 for a Crate

    I don't understand why anybody would go with another 350 for a replacement. For a small incremental price you can have a 383 stroker with a significant increase in torque. It all fits in the same space and uses the same accessory set.

    New 355 Build For My 1979 Big 10

    A 355? Is that a 350 bored .030 over?

    Pricing on Engines

    Wow, I can add that to my knowledge base. Thanks. I should have known. That was back when you could get Sunoco high octane gas (105?) for .35 - .45/gal. $1.00 would carry you all night. Agreed, I have owned many classics which I have resto-modded, including my current K5, but never went the...

    Pricing on Engines

    Must be aftermarket heads. I didn't think a 327 had stock heads at 10:1.

    Pricing on Engines

    The tranny and diff should handle that with no problem. I would be afraid of the engine if you can't see it run and do a compression test.

    Gas Tank Baffles?

    I wonder if a PO put a sender for a 25 gal tank in my 31 gal tank. That may explain why it would starve on steep hills.

    Engine using excessive oil "opinions wanted"

    Is there any update on this? I'm curious if you found the solution. I'm betting on valve seals or sticking rings after that long hibernation.

    Gas Tank Baffles?

    I have a problem when going up a steep hill. The engine quits due to a lack of fuel. I have rebuilt the carb and the fuel pressure is good when on a level grade. I am wondering if there are baffles in the gas tank. If not, can they be installed. The tank is OE for my 78 K5. Are there any other...

    Need honest quote for this truck, not a I know what I have?

    If it runs, shifts and the T/C works, you might get 3K, but I would say that is the upper limit. Mileage probably doesn't matter at this point.

    I think I need a new engine

    For his sake I hope it isn't hydrolocked. That's bent rod territory.

    I think I need a new engine

    I am baffled as to why an ignition issue could cause a mechanical blockage. What you are describing sounds like a mechanical timing problem or breakage, like a pushrod, lifter or the cam out of synch.

    Anyone dealt with LMC Trucks for parts?

    Look at the e-mail domain name. I'll bet it isn't lmc.com.
