    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    You lost me there, also I assume you meant 91”, but are you using a completely different gauge or? My speedometer doesn’t read correctly but I can tell how fast I’m going from around anout where it’s at. It starts around 100 so 0 is roughly 50 mph. I reckon I can start looking into a throttle...

    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    @Bextreme04 id like to retain my factory speedo if at all possible, I guess I’ll run an adapter in the upper rad hose for the steam port. One thing I thought about yesterday, will I need a new throttle cable? Isn’t the ls throttle linkage on the passenger side? @TerryRH maybe you’ll get it...

    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    After some reading I know a basic of what it is I just need to figure out how I want to go about it. I don’t know if I mentioned but my engine is a return style fuel rail.

    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    Yes I want to get rid of the 203 in my 76, but this truck is currently a 350 sm465 np205 truck going to 5.3 sm465 np205. Ive been talking to the guy doing the tuning work and he thinks he’s got it he said I’m the first manual one he’s had to do all he’s done is automatics. I planned on running...

    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    Can I get the Dakota digital adapter for the vss so I can retain my factory speedometer?(not properly working but want to keep so I can eventually fix) the adapter thing is around $50 I’m willing to spend that but I really don’t want to spend a few hundred bucks on this I thought the manual...

    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    I do 100% plan on having on board diagnostics, but I’m dead honest when I say I had no idea about the vss being important on a manual, I’ve googled and found a couple for $300 so I’m thinking I may go ahead and ignore it if it runs. If it won’t run then it’ll be an issue for then. But can...

    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    We’ll all of this is unknown news I didn’t think about, maybe this is going to take longer than expected. I don’t have the engine yet so I’m not sure if it’s return style or not, but I got plenty of fuel line if it is. As for exhaust I’m just planning on running stock manifolds that come out...

    NP203 to NP208 swap?

    I’ve never even taken this truck down the road, I’ve had it since July and it’s only moved 2-3 miles. I’d just heard the 203 wore parts quicker, terrible fuel mileage, etc so I was set I didn’t need that because this truck isn’t going to be off-road hardly ever.

    NP203 to NP208 swap?

    @SquareRoot i can live with 10+, but I’d rather not get 5/6mpg.

    Np203 part time conversion?

    @ali_c20 i haven’t done anything yet. I’m still in debate. I’ve just heard the 203 gets poor fuel mileage, wears parts faster, eats front tires, etc. the truck is being built to be a cruiser so I’d like a 2H option for highway driving

    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    I committed to a fuel system, -Spectra GM1C baffle tank -87 tbi fuel sending unit -GM ACDelco EP381 fuel pump -Generic -6AN fuel filter Fuel system should be good enough for stock. Im currently sitting at $628.92 in all the parts listed. I still need to go to oreillys to get the power torque...

    NP203 to NP208 swap?

    If I’ve got the driveshafts from the 208 and the cross member etc would it work together? Or is it enough difference to not interchange

    NP203 to NP208 swap?

    I’ve got a 208 in my 87 v20 and it’s my favorite out of the three I’ve had. My 205 won’t come out of 4x4 unless I slip the clutch and move slightly. And the 203 I’ve just heard too much negative about it.

    NP203 to NP208 swap?

    I’d originally bought this truck in July for my ole lady so she could have a truck to do truck things I guess? Hell I don’t know she said she wanted one. Anyways she’s not gonna be 4 wheeling or anything crazy, yes it’s got aggressive mud tires and wide wheels but it will rarely leave the...

    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    Since the 350 in my 1978 Chevrolet K10 is getting tired and I need a clutch swap anyways I’m going to swap in an LS for better fuel economy and power. Currently I’ve picked everything except the fuel tank, sending unit, and pump. The things I’ve got so far: -ICT billet sbc to LS motor mounts...

    NP203 to NP208 swap?

    I’m assuming you mean trans and tcase I’m not swapping in a 305 lol. If I could find a simple enough part time conversion I’d do that. I just want a 2h option for highway driving.

    NP203 to NP208 swap?

    I have a 1976 Chevrolet K10 with a 350 and I believe TH350, it has an NP203 tcase that I want to eliminate for better fuel mileage(truck is being built to be a cruiser that can drive wherever whenever) i recently traded off my 1981 Frankenstein for an 86 k10 Silverado and an 80’s k20 frame. The...

    Quadrabog bogs

    Alright, I’m back on this because I need to have a backup vehicle ASAP. My 87 is down for frame damage and the steering gearbox skipping teeth, my 78 is ready to die any day now between the clutch issues and little oil pressure, I’m left needing something to drive. I went out and started this...

    Stumble under quick wot

    After no responses for a few days I’m having an issue where the throttle is sticking or something, I can’t get the truck to return to idle. I’ve lowered the idle almost every time I’ve drove the truck because it idles higher and higher each time. It currently idles around 900 today. Sometimes it...

    Stumble under quick wot

    Yes I know there’s exhaust leaks and that’s not the noise I was referring to, the tapping sorta noise closer to the end of first video is the sound I was referring to.

    Stumble under quick wot

    Here’s with advanced timing a bump, manifold vacuum, lowered idle to 700/750ish and mixture screws adjusted. You can hear the tapping sort of sound in this video. Also what the hell is the flutter sound after I rev it? It’s been doing it for forever and I’ve never thought to ask but you can...
