    Hello From Alabama

    454 TBI Parts

    Retro already said it but everything after 90 was Gen V. My SS came with a Gen IV and the next two years had the gen V big block. By the way, If no one buys the throttle body I might have too, mine is screwed up and I cant seem to find a new throttle shaft so easy online.

    Irish's pickup from hell, the 454SS.

    Update pictures on the engine, I am in the final stages and encountering problems. All the stock brackets wont wont fit with the new intake manifold but I am massaging them to fit one spark at a time. This thing should look somewhat factory when done.

    Irish's pickup from hell, the 454SS.

    What I was talking about is condensation in the crankcase, water gets in your oil and needs to be transformed into gas form so it can be sucked out and burnt by the pcv valve. The entire point of the article I was reading is that an engine needs to be warmed up and the oil warm enough to boil...

    Irish's pickup from hell, the 454SS.

    Update on the big block assembly: I ran into a bit of confusion with the head gaskets, everything looked wrong with the coolant jacket ports but it was confirmed they are correct so there is a set of big beefy heads all torqued down to the finished block. I was really kickin ass on it until I...

    Irish's pickup from hell, the 454SS.

    I could go sit in a dozer for a few days and afford some really bad ass brodix heads for it but I am a hobby engine scientist. Dave Vizard is the king of engine builders, I love reading his shit. I spend alot of time at work sitting around reading so I mix it up with mostly automotive material...

    Irish's pickup from hell, the 454SS.

    When I got this truck it was pretty quick, there is no way the engine was stock. This new motor should move it pretty good, vortech kit is in the future but for now I just want it to be a functional truck again because I genuinely love driving it. What larry said, I have dump truck heads on...

    Running on 7

    The only time you will catch me in one of those "parts stores" I am dropping off waste oil. I shop exclusively at Napa or order stuff through rockauto.com if I am being cheap. If you tell a parts guy you need a upper engine gasket kit for a gen 6 big block and he does not try to play 20...

    I will never understand that, I have been to several in different states and none of them seem to be car people.

    Ez-wiring kit

    I ordered mine but never installed it, as mentioned before its going to require buying alot of the proper plugs and some wiring is not included, mostly the stuff under the dash for your blower fan switch, radio wiring and stuff like that but it does have new power wires for both those things...

    Would it work?

    Google it, you will find alot of people that cut down a long bed into a short bed. I recall even seeing exact dimensions telling you where to cut it, thats alot easier than your current plan.

    Sound Deadening in Cab

    I use dynamat exclusively. I lined the doors in my 85 and there was an immediate noticeable difference without even lining the cab floor yet. Application is easy, just pull all our interior out and wash everything good with soap and water, peel and stick.

    steering a little loose - what should I suspect?

    You can adjust the steering box a little tighter and see if that helps the issue, there is a allen head fastener with a jam nut on it, loosen the jam nut and run the allen headed adjuster in clockwise a little bit. Go in small steps with lots of test drives. If its worn out I highly suggest...

    If you are using a phone take pictures of the front of your engine so you have a general idea of how everything goes back together.

    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME very appreciated

    This kinda sounds like the performance of my 305 when it did not have a pcv valve, go check that and make sure its working.

    Hi from across the pond!

    I have never seen one in public except for one I saw in Reno at a dealership that was for sale.... 20K is what that guy was asking. I stopped and got pictures.

    Hi from across the pond!

    I am blown away that he had the rarest of pickups, those are hard to find in the states and even then they cost an arm and a leg.
