    Bad Combo?

    with headers? I read that they're not meant for engines with less than 300hp. Also that a single exhaust with 3 in pipe is better than duals. How do I tell if they are swirl port? By a certain cast number?

    Bad Combo?

    Thanks for the input guys. Cash rules everything haha and I am not one of the lucky ones who comes across deals of a lifetime on Craigslist or eBay or swap meets simply due to my cash funds and the deals never coincide. Oh well. Well I have thought about converting to carb because my intake...

    Bad Combo?

    Flex plate help

    New theory on the flex plate being scraped. I speculate that upon first installation of the new transmission 20 some odd years ago; some jack off put it on backwards and the Torque Converter wasn't seated down tight enough bc of the weight. In turn causing it to wobble and cause the streak...

    Flex plate help

    I couldn't see anything that was obvious. No debris came down but dirt and sludge. Well if there was something internally wrong with the motor causing this wouldn't I see/hear/feel it else where like when it was running? I talked with my dad and he pointed out this trans swap was years ago...

    This is what I could snap at the moment. Ground is wet and didn't feel like changing to crawl under the truck. It's overcast today and I feel stumped with this and afraid with this mindset I'll damage something.

    Flex plate help

    No... I do not feel better. Turns out parts store in fact did give the right flex plate. One for a th350. Which was bigger than mine, also the bolt pattern did not match up. I have one for a 700r4. Which what would cause this rubbing issue? ^^^ is what I saw when I took it off the...

    Flex plate help

    Well after 6hours of fighting I finally got it. I didn't have my 1/2in impact but my 3/8s got three of the bolts free. And I was wrong again the bolts were 14mm. And I actually started to round one and the last one was rounded. What did this? Stupid 12 pt socket instead of 6 (slapped forehead)...

    Right on!! My dad tried helping me since he had just replaced his on his 95 chevy and he swore up and down that clips held the caps in alone. Well he ran into the same problem I did but unlike his my ujoints didn't have any clips. They had plastic in around the caps. Once we had the right torch...

    Flex plate help

    I'll look into the rear seal. I am not sure which I have a 2 piece or 1 so I will know when I take of the flex plate. I do know I have oil leaks, front seal, oil pan, probably rear as well and valve covers leak. Also have a intake leak at the front of the intake manifold near the left head. If I...

    Flex plate help

    Ok I figured as much. The transmission is completely out so I have all the room to get the gun square up on the bolt. The bolts have been soaking in pb blaster all night so I may try one more trick before I drive 40mins round trip to get my air compressor. But I do have all week since my plant...

    Freaking me out here not wanting to use an impact. Set to reverse? On the gun or the way the threads are on the bolts? I assumed these were standard lefty loosey righty tighty bolts.

    Flex plate help

    Thanks I just found out about that tool on google. I also dug deeper found out on the 87 efi motors these flexplate bolts went directly into the crankcase and they put sealer on them to prevent leaks. So they're on there pretty good. So sealer must go back on to prevent leaks. FYI to people...

    Broken detent cable

    You are onto something. I was looking up for a 1980 since 1987 didn't have an option for th350. Which the 80s th350's are the "C" models. I searched for a 1971 with a th350 and it brought up part number ca1952 which in the picture matches what I broke. So I will call and order one tomorrow...

    Broken detent cable

    So I was in the process of replacing my flexplate and starter and to do so as many know is to pull the transmission or pull the motor. I had everything unhooked and unbolted or I thought... The last thing holding the transmission in before it fell on me was the detent cable. I did not realize...
