    dual exhaust or dual with headers

    If you are running an automatic there are many headers to choose from. If you have a manual tranny w/mechanical linkage, your choices are fewer. FYI....

    1984 K10 305 Headers

    Stock manifolds do not hug the side of the head as header flanges do. I believe there are tapped holes in the heads for mounding stuff like wire looms or heat shields or some other ancillary parts. Those holes are accessible with stock cast iron. The holes in the flanges may permit access to...

    Oil Filter Conversion

    That is something to ponder... It does get cold here in the Deep South occasionally. As my intake does not have a heat passage under the carb, I will most probably need some warm up time, especially in the winter. I am curious tho, about the function of the bypass when used in conjunction with...

    Oil Filter Conversion

    Most adapters have a bypass valve; a few do not. Pros/cons of each???

    Which Oil Pump?

    Got the Melling M155 today. The shop TIG welded the pickup onto the correct position.

    Oil Filter Conversion

    Tis a 1pc rms block. Should not a gasket be included in a rebuild set?

    Oil Filter Conversion

    The engine I am rebuilding was out of a '93 1500 with oil cooler and right angle filter mounting. I am going to install it into me '84 C10. What part (s) do I need to change to the older spin on filter? If I am reading the parts list correctly it would need a #3952301 adapter and a couple of...

    Which Oil Pump?

    I'll either stick with the M55 and replace the pickup, or go with the Melling M155, same pump, larger pickup. I'm gonna take it to the machine shop who sold me the M55 and let him sort it out. As long as it doesn't colt me more, I'll go with his recommendation. He's gonna press in the tube and...

    Which Oil Pump?

    That is the pump which I have. It uses the 5/8" pick up. The original in the engine is 3/4"....

    Which Oil Pump?

    The engine came with the 3/4" pump. It is a 10243880 roller block, not sure what year as it was a repower. I think I want to stay with the 3/4"..........

    Which Oil Pump?

    My 350 has an oil pump w/3/4" pick up tube. The replacement that came with the "kit" is 5/8". Is there any functional difference? Should I replace the pump or get a new pick up tube?

    Rocker Arm pouring oil

    Don't know for sure, but sounds like a lifter problem to me.

    T-56 in '84 C10

    Thanks for the link.

    Cam Degreeing

    Yup. Thanks. I still have to take exception with step #6, because you are instructed to turn the crank counterclockwise to take a degree reading. This loads the left side of the chain, and unloads the right side. This is a condition not seen while the engine is running, because it is always...

    T-56 in '84 C10

    Anyone have experience installing a T-56 six speed into a Square Body? Does it fit, or does the tunnel require modification? Cross member location change?

    Auto to Manual

    The first thing I did to my '84 C10 was to remove the leaking TH350 and replace with a Muncie M20. I am not concerned about doing truck things with this C10; only having fun. The pedal box was a bit of a pain. I found mine on the fabled online auction site and cost me $225.00 (my offer; listing...

    Cam Degreeing

    I am getting ready to degree the cam in my 350 build. I am a cam degreeing virgin......... I have watched several videos on the procedure and curious as to the lack of attention regarding crankshaft rotation direction I would have to believe that ALL measurements would HAVE to be taken with...

    Engine stand block mounting

    Shorter top arms for block mounting would permit a deeper drop on the stand. For now, I have it as low as it can go. Once I get the pistons /rods in and button up the oil pan, my flipping days should be over.........

    Engine stand block mounting

    Yup.I'm gonna drop it as far as it will adjust. Thanks.

    Engine stand block mounting

    I used the top 2 and the bottom 2 on my 4 wheel stand.

    Engine stand block mounting

    My 350 block is mounted to my engine stand, but is very top-heavy. Makes it really difficult to roll over to top side up. Lower mounting arms just about parallel with ground. How balanced should (can) the block be when it is mounted? I would have to think that the condition will only get much...

    Cam decision

    You might consider giving Willhoite's Cams in OK city a call...he fixed my up with a LT4 Hot Cam regrind for about 1/2 the price of new, every bit as good and can grind one to your specs.He may even be good with recommendations, not sure. But, wouldn't hurt to give 'em a call.......

    Roller rockers,poly locks and valve covers

    I received my Scorpion 1001 roller rockers today. Amazon had them for just under $200.00 I tried to get Summit to price match per their policy, but the guy said THEIR number was "SCP1001" And was a newer model, but didn't know what the changes were. He did give me Scoprion's phone #, so I called...
