    700R4 selection

    I run a 700r4 with a 2500 stall. Comp cs294 magnum cam. 2500 to 6500 power band. Tire smoking fun. 410 gears. Limited slip diff. Had the trans built 8 years ago, serviced it once, and it's still pulling hard.

    Dropping a pan off a 2WD 700R4?

    Just remove the cross member and get it out of the way. Had to do the same thing on my 92.

    Valve covers

    Eldelbrock has a set that comes with the baffles and just do as chengy suggested and put a breather fill cap on one side.

    Reliability of the G80 Locker

    Eaton limited slip is what I used on my c1500. Quite and smooth operation. The only time it slips is when you turn but if WOT you better hang on because you will be drifting. And yes, the gov-lock is a gov-bomb.

    383 Help?

    Those numbers seem a little high for a 9:1engine. What lift is the cam? Try setting the timing. Do you know what the rear gear ratio is?

    Knock sensor on a carb'd TBI engine

    If you remove it I think you'll need a plug because it taps into the water jacket. With the old style HEI you don't need it. Just Un plug or leave it the way it is.

    Knock sensor on a carb'd TBI engine

    You don't need it if the ecu is not hooked up. It controlled engine timing if sensed an engine labor knock.

    Solid Motor Mounts

    Energy Suspension has polyurethane mounts that are almost like solid mounts without any vibration. I installed one of their mount kits on my ride and have been pleased with them.

    TBI to Carb Swap??

    This is not that complicated. Use factory wiring, alt, and sensors (oil and temp). I used a Barry grant fuel bypass regulator but holly offers one also for a around 50 bucks. I used a dizzy for an early hei app. You need a fuel pump block off plate if using the in tank pump as I did. Holly has...

    Throttle Valve cable issues

    I'm using the holly bracket that madorge is talking about and it works great. Of course I'm also using a holly carb. Part# holly 20-95 for the bracket.

    Thumpr cams

    To get the most potential out of any performance cam is to install all the other components that make it work. Just look at the cam recommendations the manufacturer suggests. It's the complete package that makes it work.

    rocker arm installation help

    Those rockers should have little flat washers on each side of the roller that use the valve tip to keep them in line. Also valve geometry is very important when using roller tip or full roller rockers. Comp website explains this process better than I can.

    rocker arm installation help

    If those heads require self aligning rockers, then they don't need the guide plates and those aren't the right rockers.

    Can i drive 14 bolt without carrier?

    You're exactly right Rich. I guessed I missed it being a 14 bolt full floter. Great info.

    Can i drive 14 bolt without carrier?

    If your only removing the ring gear just mark it and install it back on the carrier and there should be no need to have it set up again. Be sure to keep the side shims on the correct sides.

    455 olds swap

    Sounds like a good swap. Probably wasn't much to it. I think most of the 455's had about 500 foot lbs of torque.

    Whats Gears Should i Run

    I run a 410 gear in my 92 c1500 with a 700r4 trans and 275/60/15 tires. It turns about 2500 rpms at 70 mph. I have Richman gears and an Eaton limited slip carrier. 10 bolt with 30 spline axles and the Trick Flow carrier support diff cover. It's held up for 8 yrs now with some pretty hard...

    Engine build

    I already had the heads that were ready to bolt on. They have been hogged out and flow pretty good. Tje vortec heads would have to have the spring pads cut to accommodate the valve springs that match my cam. It was kind of a budget build. I tried to take the cam recommendations and make it all...
