The Official Vortec 454 Info thread
I'm currently making a PDF copy... It takes a bit though plus I have to make sure that the text comes out well. That, then text recognition.- Mangonesailor

99 L29 454 build
I find my truck as a lot of spark knock detected when it's hot, which just simply can be automatically compensated against based off of IAT readings. It's all that heat soak by that giant aluminum intake of ours. It truly is difficult to make good power. I tried for a long long time to get a...- Mangonesailor

Bowtie Brody's Namesake 96 454
My hood and roof are REALLY starting to show their age after this past winter. It was like the clear coat suddenly started failing. It's a long ways down the list though- Mangonesailor

Vortec Big block performance upgrades.
Quick correction on this: A ZZ502 cam will NOT directly swap in. Our heads do not have enough clearance for the rockers to depress the valves without hitting the valve stem boss. HP tuners will tune a black box 98+, and will tune a 0411 swap- Mangonesailor

Vortec Big block performance upgrades.
Yeah, those look like Chinese copies. When you swap the injectors, you don't need a tune, but they may flow a little different. Your STFT's and LTFT's will vary a smidge but it'll be something the ECU can compensate for on its own. Find some real OEM Ford injectors or some from a wrecking yard...- Mangonesailor

The Official Vortec 454 Info thread
Each port doesn't need it's own o-ring. You could mold an o-ring of out of silicone if you wanted that would be just like the gasket made for the plenum. Two acrylic plates (so you can see voids) with the pattern milled out put together, pour it, vacuum chamber it, then separate them. People...- Mangonesailor

My K1500 DD Tow Pig
My the first set of powerstops I put on (Sep 19) only stunk when I initially bedded them in. They lasted only 15kmi with no towing. With my second set (Jul 22) stink every once in a while with heavy braking.- Mangonesailor
