    Any headers that fit perfectly on 84 K10?

    I have a set of the Edelbrock 50 state-shorty kits for the 305/350. Came ceramic coated with a Y pipe, etc. I sold the "kit" part to a guy with a square van. I do have the small starter-stock. No clearance issues. Had to buy the right flanges to link up to the duel-exhaust P.O. had installed...

    455 Olds in place of 454 in 76 GMC (frame to engine mounts?)

    Since your at it what about a custom engine cross-member? DIY4x4 and ORD may have a solution, even though it sounds like you are a 2wd application. Good squarebody resources.

    It is all based on a)spline count b)tail shaft length and style, c) crossmember that fit the adapter you need, and d) the adapter you need. Then it is time to play with driveshafts. Chevy played with this. My 81 setup is a 350C-lockup transmission with a 208 27-spline with the flat crossmember...

    Neutral Safety Switch

    There are two clip-in style ones and 1 bolt-in style one for our squares. Keep in mind other GM stuff fits. Mine was the bolt in style one but not factory to my 81' - looks like it has been in there for 19-years though- When I found the "square" bolt in one's electric pins were wrong, I...
