    engine troubles

    I haven't called the shop to see if they do core exchanges or not. I Just need to get down the road I'm not looking to make my truck a high horsepower beast. I'm gonna do some calling around soon and see what the deal is. I'm in Texas I'm more than likely just gonna replace them both since...

    They are true duals each side running on their own. This isn't a ford and it definitely doesn't have a computer that does that. That's part of the reason I bought this truck other than the looks is that it doesn't have a computer I have to worry about. If I could swap a set of heads on over...

    engine troubles

    Oddly yesterday and today I haven't seen the smoke but doesn't mean it won't show back up. I've been told that it could be the reason behind the smoke but i feel that if that were the case it would smoke out of both sides rather than just the one side.

    I'm at school before anybody else so can't get a ride I also have to take my brother. So I'll figure it out. I gotta pull down a set of my old heads and take a look at em to see what's going on. I can get a set of rebuilt ready to bolt on stock 882 heads with 1.94/1.5 valves in them for 300 bucks

    I'll look into it and see what I can find. I'll have to call them and see what the price is gonna be. I don't have a whole lot of cash to work with. I've got a set of stock ones at home that came off my old 350 that I could have freshend up. I actually just backed the timing off the other day I...

    engine troubles

    It's not gonna be a high horsepower motor it's just a daily driver so I'm totally okay with going to rebuilt stock heads. I'll keep the 4 bolt for later probably after I get out of college. I Just need it to run good to make a 300 mile trip several times as that's how far away my school is. If I...

    That's pretty much what mine is doing. It's starting to drive me crazy. I have to get it figured out. I'm gonna start with the higher octane fuel and go from there. But if worse comes to worse I will end up doing a ton of research on either rebuilind one of the blocks I have with vortec heads or...

    I was actually thinking about doing that because I've read a lot and that was one of the possibilities.

    I'm still in the process of learning but I didn't know it was possible to get a set of vortec heads for a pre 86 350.

    I can't remember what side it was on. I put the engine in over the summer last year. If I end up swapping it I'll probably just rebuild the 4 bolt main I blew that came out of the truck. I can get a set of rebuilt 350 heads for 250 bucks from a shop close to me

    engine troubles

    I'll check the exhaust later today and get back. But I put the exhaust in and it looked like it was clearing everything. I've never heard of a squish test but I'll look into it. Yea it's got 2 different heads on it but a guy I know who has built several cars said it was okay. I should also add...
