    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    I have just completed a Oldsmobile diesel to sbc 355 swap and on my first start every sounded great but the first time I pushed my brakes in it make a grinding noise, and would go away when I let off, I’ve had the truck running about 10 times since then and would come on randomly at idle, now...

    1982 C30 custom deluxe single rear wheel

    hey I’m new here and I’m really trying to find out more about my truck. It’s a single rear wheel 1982 c30 (supposedly) with 4 speed Manual and a 350 under the hood. It used to be a refinery truck so it did a lot of idling in its life. But I am curious, when I look up the VIN it says it’s an 82 1...

    Can you make a 305 stroker with 350 crank and rods?

    As the title says, can you make a 305 stroker with a 350 crank and rods? What would it be? Would it be a 327, or a 340, or is it even possible? I havent done any research, just dreaming here. I have a 305 that wrecked the crank and rods, and I have a 350 that is dead, but the bottom end is...

    Hypothetical SBC question

    So I have a fun idea to wrap your heads around. Something that popped into my head a while back, and has been rolling around in there for a while gathering dust, haha. It's not squarebodys specifically, but about any chevy small block in general. Here it is: Hypothetically speaking, let's say...

    Opinions on an Engine Swap for 81 C10

    Right now, I have an extremely tired 305 and I'm ready to swap it out. Now I've bounced around different ideas, but not sure on which route to take. I think I've narrowed it down to wanting a 350. I don't want to do LS swap or big block. I've done some research and I've come down to: 1. Buy a...

    Perfect time

    I been messing with my 92 350 trying to figure out where it runs the best I put a new edelbrock intake and carb. Msd distributor and wires, new cam/lifters, gear drive and electric fuel pump. Seems like everything you read or hear is different lol. What do you all run on ur old small blocks?

    No spark problems.

    In my 86 I’ve got a 383 with an MSD hei distributor. My probable for the past few weeks is that I don’t have any spark when the engine is cold. Get in the truck to go to work in the morning- no spark, get in after it’s sat more than a day- no spark. The starter turns over fine and I checked with...
