    Summit Brand Headers???

    A year ago I put a 454 in my 87 v10. I tried the Summit long tube ceramic coated for $300 and the Hedman long tube ceramic coated for $800. The Summit fit better and had a nicer finish. 11 months later and they still look good.

    K30 crew cab headers???

    I purchased the Summit brand headers, ceramic coated for under $300. Came with collectors and gaskets. Fit my 454 in a K10 with no issues. Tuck up nice by the spring shackles.

    Fair price to switch a V10 front and rear diffs to 373 from 308 gears

    Thanks for the input. Not set up to do this work myself, so I am just going to have to pay for it.

    Hello Everyone, I have a 1987 V10. It currently has 308 gears with open differentials. I installed a larger engine and a larger stall converter in the 700R4. ( 2000-2400 stall ). I want to change the gears in the differentials to 373 with a limited slip in the rear. So far I have 2 price...

    big block starter replacement

    Both of my Squares have mini starters. Much easier to install due to size and weight, especially if you have headers.

    1987 K10 factory set up dual tank small yellow line leaking fuel

    Hello Everyone, My 1987 K10 has the factory dual tank set up. It works good, switches from tank to tank just like it should. Fuel guage works accurately for each tank also. I noticed today there is a fuel leak near the tank selector valve dripping directly on the exhaust. The leak was under...

    What Classic Insurance to get?

    I am switching from Hagerty to JC Taylor. Hagerty increased my rate on 4 vehicles 70% for the 2024 renewal year. No accidents, claims or tickets to justify the increase. I take back what I said about JC Taylor. When I tried to finalize the insurance today, they changed the price they...

    Energy Suspension body mount bushings feedback (P/N 34116G)

    I enstalled them on my 85 C15 in 2005. I have no complaints, they are much better than rubber.

    454 460 horsepower swap into a 1987 V10 with 700r4

    Thank you for the advice. I think you are correct. I also have a 1985 GMC 2 wheel drive I changed the 305 to 502. I had the 700r4 beefed up and did have to change the rear gears to 373 from 273. 22 years later and it still drives great with 32 inch tires it turns about 2200 at 65mph. I...

    454 460 horsepower swap into a 1987 V10 with 700r4

    I thank you for the input. Why does the gear ratio matter? The factory gear ratio works fine with a 350 so why would a 454 be different? I did not realize the font was bold when I typed it on my phone. I thought capital letters denoted yelling in text not font. So nice of you to point that out.

    454 460 horsepower swap into a 1987 V10 with 700r4

    I am swapping the original 350 ( TBI ) for a 454 ( carb ) that is mild with about 460 horsepower. The trans is a 700r4. Tires are 33" and the cam is 501 intake/510 exhaust 216 intake/228 exhaust duration @ .050-122 LSA. I believe the gear ratio is stock, probable a 308 maybe?? Any...

    What headers will fit a Blueprint 454 in a 1987 K10/V10

     Thank you for the response. I did speak with Blueprint about the headers. They do suggest header manufacturers. Lemons quoted me $2480 for the headers. Sanderson quoted me $990 with a six week lead time. Both quotes are for ceramic coated. I was hoping to find a less pricey set.
