I have some questions about my swap.
1985 3/4 ton 2wd standard cab, long bed, turbo 400, 4:10 rear, 235/85/16 tires
Installed a 1996 5.7 Vortec (with serpentine, a/c, alternator, power steering pump, exhaust manifolds) from a 4wd Tahoe- all stock
I'm using an stock HEI, Carter Competition Series AFB 600 Elect choke , Procomp Vortec intake.
1 The distributor shaft diameter on the HEI is larger than the shaft on the Vortec distributor. Can I machine(drill out) the gear from the Vortec dist to fit the HEI?
2 Any recommendations for carburetor starting point- jets, metering rods, springs
3 Any recommendations for distributor starting point- springs, advance (init, mech, vacuum)
4 Anybody have data on exhaust temps (at exh manifold at each port measured with a infrared temp gun) at idle and other rpm's
Any other ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
