    I would really like a turbo 400 in my truck

    I did this swap last year on my 83 k2500 suburban, its definitely worth it even though youre losing overdrive. I had the T400 built to handle 800hp with super strong everything including billet shaft and drum etc. It was 3800 total installed and worth every penny on how it shifts, the only...

    83 suburban ac hoses

    My 83 k2500 suburban ac lines have been changed at some point, im not sure if there was a leak in the rear system or the original front lines that split off to the rear were bad and there just wasnt a replacement. Either way I can just use the line I have but it would be nice to have the rear...

    Progression Distributor

    Im running one on my sons 67 buick skylark with a 455. Once you figure it out its the best dist ever, especially if you have higher compression or ac. You can have it start on 10 degrees and it can jump to 18 or whatever you choose at idle. Then you can set it to pull timing at higher rpms so...

    1987 C30 Cliff Diver

    Im looking into bpe crate engines as well, just kind of concerned because they dont use any standard block or heads. They manufacture their own

    454 starting issues

    IF it is backfiring it IS getting spark, the distributor could be out a tooth or more or it could be 180 out. Did you take the timing chain off?

    New sbc 400 blueprint engine keeps fouling plugs with gas

    Have you checked to make sure your ignition system is getting its proper 12v? Maybe it only has enough juice to keep it running good enough but keeps fouling the plugs?

    Smog Pump

    Thanks, I haven't tried anything from that site because I thought it was 50 dollars and wasn't really interested in knowing much beyond the gear ratio and axles. I can't find the stampings anywhere on either axle where it's supposed to be

    Smog Pump

    Maybe mine is a weird setup but I have a k20 1982 suburban. No egr valve and Im pretty sure the heavy duty (over 6k) trucks didnt have to have one. But, I have the original AIR pump installed and lines to the exhaust too but no cats only the y pipe all original. Ive sense removed the rusted y...

    BBC Headers, A Question....

    BB Headers

    The only headers I've found over 1-7/8ths were Stahl or the mad dogs mentioned above but those are fenderwell headers so they're out. I guess I'll look fir some 2 inch nova headers and see if they'll work. I'm fine with keeping the inches down to allow a better fit with a 9.8 block, I just...

    BB Headers

    I saved money for a house that isnt going to happen this year so I budgeted 20k or so to get this done, ill save money where I can but am trying to keep the headers under 700 because I imagine a custom 3 inch exhaust is in this things future. What size pipes are your nova headers? 70-72 bb nova...

    BB Headers

    Thanks i didnt know the brackets would work, any idea which motor mounts I need to look for? I think 85 is the first year for the bbc should those work? Ill check on the headers, I dont mind dinging them a bit just trying to get a good idea before I spend the money on something that wont work...

    BB Headers

    I have my 82 k20 suburban and Im looking to get either a 632 built or a 598. The 632 is a tall block and the 598 a regular 9.8 block. Before I order the engine which takes 12 week to be in line does anyone know whether the tall block will work with headers or should I go with the regular...

    Thinking about going nutzo on the suburban

    The reasoning behind the trx is used value is considerably more that even new for some stupid reason so if I bought it for 82k I could turn it around whenever I want (at least right now) for a nice profit

    Thinking about going nutzo on the suburban

    Yes I realize that, the problem is there arent any affordable houses in my area. There is a house listed on 3 acres for 144k near me, it was built in 1908 and is sliding off the foundation! The house Im talking about for 250k is on 1 acre and sold 3 years ago for 138k and its still from 1956...

    Thinking about going nutzo on the suburban

    Thanks, Ive been saving for a house but honestly I dont see me being able to afford one at these insane prices in topeka. A house that was 135 3 years ago is now 250k and I cant justify that price and sleep at night lol. I live in a rental for 1k a month and while it doesnt have a garage it is...

    Thinking about going nutzo on the suburban

    I LOVE my power always have always will, this 350 in my 82 k2500 burb is driving me nuts. It is dead on smooth and starts good cold and everything for now. I just want more, alot more power, to the point I ordered a 2022 trx with the hellcat engine. I have thought and thought about this and...

    Best oil? Type, brand, viscosity, additives, etc.

    This is my experience with semi engines, they will wear to what oil you use. If you start with a certain oil stick with it, different oils create different wear patterns. My cams in my isx were replaced last year at a cost of 14k but that included new bearings. Interesting note that the...
