Best 454 all around build
Your going to get all kinds of suggestions but here’s my .02 I’d keep the 4.10’s if you intend to ever tow with the 33’s - especially if you were to go to an overdrive trans. For a carb in a non hot rod street truck, I highly recommend a quadrajet. There’s no need for a Holley and a well...- nvrenuf

Car Hauler tips/tricks/ideas
@bluex be very careful strapping to anything above the axles, the suspension can still cycle as the trailer goes over bumps etc causing those straps to have slack and possibly come loose. The only way to successfully strap to anywhere above the suspension is to pull it down until it’s on the...- nvrenuf

Are my gears to high for the setup?
More gear for 35’s, I’d go with 4.10’s or 4.56’s.- nvrenuf

Yes, that is the pivot pin puller -
Any black two tone trucks out there?
I always loved the factory black / silver two tone scheme. -
Looking for a replacement frame/ chassis for my ‘86 K30
You'll get more traffic by posting this in the "Wanted" forum. You probably want to specify if that is a regular K30 pick up frame or a cab & chassis frame (if C&C, add the wheelbase).- nvrenuf

No line pressure to rear disc conversion, no prop valve
I don’t know that the m/c is definitely the problem but calipers use more fluid to move than a wheel cylinder, a lot of people change the m/c during the conversion. -
Replaced Radiator, but no heater hose hole!!
There’s more to it than rerouting the hoses. Since it’s obvious it’s not the right one the next question is if it’s the right size. -
Replaced Radiator, but no heater hose hole!!
Idea: take the wrong radiator back and make the seller get you the correct radiator?? -
No line pressure to rear disc conversion, no prop valve
My current build has a dis/disc master cylinder but my old truck had a dis/drum master cylinder, I just swap to one with a larger bore and reservoir. -
No line pressure to rear disc conversion, no prop valve
Not having a proportioning valve is not the problem, I don’t have one and my brakes are fine. It’s not the right thing to do and I’ll probably run over a bus full of nuns but I’m just saying that’s not it. I agree that you may need to look at the master cylinder. With my disc swap I’m running... -
Car Hauler tips/tricks/ideas
I’ve had my trailer for a long time and I still keep telling myself that I need to have 8-10 “D” rings added to it. You can’t have enough tie down points and stake pockets along the sides aren’t really positioned good for strapping down a car or truck. My next round of ratchet straps will be...- nvrenuf

Do you still have the load sensing proportioning valve in the rear? (at the top of the rear axle flex hose) -
Dana 60 BOM # confusion
Yeah, that's entirely possible. I was just thinking that since he couldn't find the BOM and if the housing is truly incomplete it could possibly be from an equipment application.- nvrenuf

No knuckles as in missing the outer parts or everything on the ends of the tubes has been cut off? Got any other pics of the axle?- nvrenuf

Inconsistent fuel pressure
I don’t know about the noise but what regulator are you using? Some of the cheaper designs can be inconsistent. Do you run a return line?- nvrenuf

Question about converting to a roller cam
For Mark IV's there's no lifter retainer stuff used, the lifters themselves are linked together in pairs - that's all. There are threaded holes on each side of the cam bore but I don't know what they're for, I've never seen them used on a Mark IV. I'd be concerned about the overall length of...- nvrenuf

Header farts
The real lesson here is cheap headers (or expensive headers with thin flanges) suck. Thick flanges don't warp easily which means the gaskets are far less prone to leak. My headers have a 3/8" flange and only recommended high temp RTV, no leaks here.- nvrenuf

K25 ON A K10 FRAME
Technically, I've read that some 20 series frames are thicker but we're talking about MM's not a significant amount. Anything that will damage a 10 series frame will damage a 20 series frame. You can always box, reinforce, etc but there's a domino effect that's hard to stop. I would highly...- nvrenuf

K25 ON A K10 FRAME
Everything from the cab forward will bolt on but there are some things that will need to be addressed; - obviously you'll need a short bed - you'll probably need 16 gal tanks, I do not believe the longer 20 gal tanks will fit a swb - rear driveshaft will need to be shortened - the tcase...- nvrenuf

mark 4 454 engine oil cooler lines
AN stuff is great but it might be an expensive option, I would only go this route if you’re planning to keep the truck long term. On your currant hoses, where the metal meets the rubber is the metal crimped or a hex fitting?- nvrenuf

mark 4 454 engine oil cooler lines
Check the hose fittings, I thought all of the earlier models had screw together fittings so you only need to source the hose itself and reuse your fittings.- nvrenuf
