    First Time Stroker Build Requesting Help!

    high volume oil pump and standard oil pan could result in pumping the pan dry. Use a standard pump out extra capacity pan. Honestly you are looking at laying out a lot of cash for never building an engine before, Id recommend doing a budget rebuild incase things go wrong and you arent out a ton...

    Engine Boom Progress

    probably harder on tires, lower mpg and you run the risk of any metal in it from the camaros trans going into the trans in the truck.

    tis a good time to make sure that cam is going to do what you want it to, is that bare or painted silver?

    Help with Rear Disc Swap

    what I was getting at was the shared parts between vehicles, specifically the axle tube/bearing size so if they are both 10 or 12 bolt from trucks you maybe able to swap them.

    1979 EFI conversion-dual fuel pump wiring

    I replaced mine with a newer valve and it said it was rated to 65 psi also. welcome, I would wire the relay in the same way the 87 did so it only uses 1 relay and switches the power to the desired tank.

    Help with Rear Disc Swap

    I know for the car 10 bolts you can swap the backing plate mount and backing plate from the newer stuff up to like a 2002 S10/Blazer on to the older 7.5/8.2/.5 not sure about the trucks but sounds like a good day spent in a junkyard.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I have read that using RTV when building the cabinet will make it seal much better than anything that comes with it. I also know first had that orange RTV is used in the coal pulverizers in power plants and some is still there after 2 years of continual use. I bought one of these and filled it...

    You will quickly find that oe body panels that can be repaired are better than new reproduction, I believe they are also thicker metal

    Should I go back with stock engine

    sorry just saw this, no I didnt purchase that engine and dont have the truck anymore. Guys on the corvette forums are giving the blue print engines good reviews and they come with a dyno sheet proving what they are making what they say.

    Tcc lockup kit problem 700r4.

    not sure how to tell if the convertor is lock up other than wire it and see if rpm drops.

    Opinions on gear ratio?

    Od ratio on 700 r4 is .7:1 and you need to keep in mind the rpm band of your engine tooling around at 3k rpm wont give you an option to down shift and pass someone with these tbi trucks.

    WONT START

    Here is your sending unit that silver thing in the middle is the check valve that prevents fuel from entering the evap line to the canister. If that is removed you could have the issue you are describing. If someone tried to bypass the tank switching valve they may have plumber the return...

    WONT START

    Something is very wrong... do you have a dual tank truck? Can you use both tanks? Did someone try to bypass the switch valve?

    Tcc lockup kit problem 700r4.

    This kit is everything you need. THe wires in your trans are there just no plug connecting it. All you should need to install is the plug on the right, the black switch and some additional wire. Find the +12 volt for the tcc solenoid, connect this to key on 12 volt. -12 on the plug goes to...

    Tcc lockup kit problem 700r4.

    If I had to guess that part you circled is a pressure sensor/switch..what kit did you buy?

    Fuel pressure regulater installed...problem solved

    excess fuel does not mean excess power. You need to make sure the engine has the 14.7:1 afr at idle and while cruising and 12.5 ish:1 at wot. reducing the pressure this much with a carb that runs rich will cause it to lean out. Problem is you may run out of fuel in the carb a better way it to...

    Why do older cars smell different?

    where and when did you work at that dealership? I worked for a Toyota/BMW dealer in 200 and we never smoke bombed either of those cars to make them smell new... I would like to have a can of that to make my car smell new again. Its alot cheaper than buying a new car.

    1987 Bronco 2 project?

    Maybe the 3.0 or 4.0 from the late 90s rangers but no way in hell would I tell anyone to swap in a gm 3.4, he would be better off using the 3.8 from the 96+ camaro/firebird as they were 200 hp and had better aftermarket support. Best yet might be to find a ecoboost v6 or the turbo 4 from the...

    Heads for tbi 350?

    Cheap - tpi heads, they have the smaller combustion chambers, right bolt pattern and will make more power but are still low performance compared to aftermarket. Vortecs - will require a different intake, and possibly some engineering to get to work with brackets and such, plus dont have an...

    Heads for tbi 350?

    you should do both at the same time.. The tbi heads have the center bolt holes drilled at a different angle than old carb heads do. If you dont wait you wisk buying an intake to atch the heads thay you may not be able to use later..
