    LS swapped c20, replace th350 with 4l60e

    Thanks, that is what I will do for sure. Trans mount is the only other consideration. On my '85 swap I did do the trans mount just to make dual exhaust easier. ( two humps in the new trans mount versus one in the stock one. ) Though on the '76 the trans mount already has the 2 humps in it. I'm...

    LS swapped c20, replace th350 with 4l60e

    Little bit of an odd question... So I have a '76 c20 that was already ls 5.3 swapped when I bought it (from 02 silverado). It was mated to a turbo 350. All works great but I want overdrive to off set the 3.73 gear rear. I picked up an '02 silverado 4l60e trans and converter. Will the flex plate...

    Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?

    I'm a fan of the 350 for sure. I'm 61 years old and have had plenty of them. But now it's the new "350" ls swap time! I just picked up an 03 silverado and pulled the motor/trans/harness/pcm and a lot more. I'll do a gentle refresh on the motor and then start the install. Its a big deal to do but...

    Are pneumatic tools obselete?

    Big fan of battery tools. Just very convenient and no compressor noise! (or hose) Though, for my air chisel its air all the way.

    Do I rebuild my SBC or swap for an LS3?

    Dang, I was all set on a crate 350 after reading replies and then I read your post...lol. I'm in the same boat as the the thread starter, my motor is ok but is starting to get tired. I do want to be able to drive this a 1000 miles in one direction on any given day as well....so dependability is...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Adjusted the kickdown cable this past weekend. Wow, I waited a bit long to do that, its so much nicer to drive with it holding gears like it should and actually downshifting. Also added in LED lightbulbs to the dash. Easy job, plug and play and what a difference.

    What did you pay for a square

    Wow, yea prices have gone up a lot for squares these days. All you guys getting them for 1000 were lucky, those days are gone for anything half decent. I paid 6k for my 85 c10 this past summer (2022). I live in MI and this is a MI truck all its life the but the prior owner never drove it in the...

    Genuine Leather Upholstery for a great price

    My truck isn't a great example since most of it is stock and old but I still love the seat! New carpet and then the seat.

    87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?

    One thing to add, I am using this setup. I still get some outside air in, plus the top down affect and the flipped lid affect. I just did a trip from MI to Pittsburgh (355 mile) in my '85 C10, 350 motor with Q-jet, 350 turbo trans and crap rear less than a 3.0 ratio gear. I tac 24-2500 rpm at...

    87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?

    Do you guys watch Engine Masters? They had an episode that compared pulling air in through the top of air cleaner like what I attached, versus a stock type that forces the air to bend 90 degrees first. Pretty big difference without the bend. As far as cool/hot air, that depends on they time of...
