    How to switch to roller cam?

    One thing i've never been clear on is, how do switch from a flat lifter cam to a roller in a SBC that was originally equipped with a flat? Technically, all you need is lifters with the link bars and the appropriate cam and you're good? You don't need to drill/tap and get a special spyder tray?

    Do GM crate 350's have soft cams ?

    i've not had a problem with soft cam on the crate 350 i had. My problem was that i think the previous owner may have overheated it and/or i didn't put the head back on correctly and it hydrolocked, but that's a different topic for another thread..................... i used Redline 10w-30 oil...

    88-99 chrome 1/2 wheels:

    Can the 88-98 1/2 ton chrome wheels found at the salvage yard be made really shinny such as here: From here, for example: If so, how? 2) Do you need different lug nuts for these wheels? 3) Also, if you know the backspace of these wheels, this would be helpful too. i was going to go...

    Why hasn't this truck moved.....in months?

    Everything i need and want----except the 4X4. Even the color is right and i've always wanted a 6.2 diesel. https://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/d/1989-suburban-4x4-diesel/6656922364.html ok, maybe the rust is turning me off?

    Time to tune up the crate

    1) Why not use a quadrajet? Especially considering it's a q-jet manifold? 2) (ties in with #1) Remember, we have plenty of room underhood to go with a hi-rise manifold...............

    1978 Chevrolet C10 lwb - $2400

    It's probably worth it; When the original air filter housing AND HOSE is there, then you know, and i'm not stereotyping here, it's was probably owned by an older gentleman who took good care of it.............

    OEM air cleaner size/dimensions for 1983 GMC pickup?

    This one should fit too: https://www.jegs.com/i/Demon-Carburetion/333/786004/10002/-1 The mr. Gasket #9798 i listed in post 7 should fit too and is cheaper, but i think mr. gasket quality just isn't too hot. But you do what you want. After the filter gets dirty you should be able to use any...

    Best radiator

    Yes, i'm leaning towards Champion at the moment. 2) Anyways, this might be a good business idea for someone (i can't do it myself because i don't have the guts); But it seems radiator quality for older gm vehicles is iffy these days. There may be a market for a good basic radiator for older...

    OEM air cleaner size/dimensions for 1983 GMC pickup?

    @#$# i didn't read your post thoroughly. i think i may have added to the confusion; You're not necessarily looking for the black metal round thing that sits on top of the carb, you just want a filter that will fit? No, the ProFlo will not fit----without an adapter. An aluminum/metal...

    OEM air cleaner size/dimensions for 1983 GMC pickup?

    This is what a 4 barrel carb looks like and in fact this is correct for 83---because it came off of my 83: Please excuse the dirty table; i'm not usually like that but i was busy. Also, i normally don't drink Monster, but i was working night shift when i took the pic. Like i said, i was...

    OEM air cleaner size/dimensions for 1983 GMC pickup?

    This is not the correct carb for an 83 anyways, so the correct, stock air filter housing for 83 won't fit that carb anyways. Why not just run an open element air filter? If you want to run a stock-type air filter housing for the 2bbl rochester, you'll likely have to try ebay. Or you might...

    Dipstick problem..............

    Need a solution for this problem: 1) It's an 87 block 4.3 v-6 (this itself may be a problem as i'm not totally sure if they take the exact same size dipstick tube as a v-8 small block? 2) i have the dipstick tube from an 86 block. It does not seem to fit the 87 block. OR maybe it is...
