    C cab Ford build

    Been playing with calculator. I run my trucks down the road in overdrive at high speed twisting 2600 to 2900rpm. Looks like 355 with 29 inch rubber and a th350 will put me about 3k at 75. With the 3 speed auto and gear change my takeoff ratio will go from 5.42 to 8.69. Even with the taller tire...

    K1500 5.7 Tuning Help

    I would repin for the 0411. A dongle and free software and you can tune it yourself. Probably under$100 in tuning stuff. You care more about how it runs than any tuner will so that's the rout i would go. It will take a little time but there are guys here that will help walk you through it and...

    C cab Ford build

    With the 283 glide and 308 gears it wasn't a slouch. The only thing I ever raced with it was a 28 model a sedan with a 4v cleveland and top loader 4 speed. We were fender to fender until the glide unloaded into high gear, I jumped him by a car length but had to lift out of it. The front came up...

    C cab Ford build

    Jumping from 25 to 29 inch rubber. Swapping the glide for a th350. Found a bm shifter in my stash to make that work. It's got an 8.2 inch 10 bolt with 3.08 gears. Rear end needs rebuilt so if I have to set it up I'm changing gear ratios. I'm debating the choices 336,355,373 or 410. I might put a...

    C cab Ford build

    I've only had it 38 years. I was 19 when I bought it drive it 2 years and it jumped time and then it sat. In 1986 it was costing me 1200 bucks a year for enough insurance to put plates on it when everything else i owned was 200 a year. It needs work but there is a lot there to work with

    C cab Ford build

    Loaded it on flatbed this morning and it's now sitting in garage. Tear into it tonight and get an attack plan in place. Got to go through my inventory and see if I've got a short th350 i can rebuild to replace the glide. I'm stoked it's been 36 years since I've driven it. The glide is good but...

    Converting L29 to cop like L21 L18

    I didn't have a tape with me but I thought my 81 covers were a tad shorter than my 7.4. Both motors are assembled. I'll have to actually measure. Thanks

    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    My latest DA trick was doing brake lines on my 94 roadmaster. Thought I was done but couldn't get the back to bleed. Lf wheel was wet. Rear line was shooting against front wheel. I snaked a new line to where someone spliced it under the front floor. She there bubble flare at the front. I cut and...

    Converting L29 to cop like L21 L18

    If doing this swap L21 valve covers would be nice but will the 8.1l covers fit? They look like they might. They call for different gaskets but they look the same.

    Eprom custom tuning for 283?

    Elb/ebl flash is what I would use. You'll be able to tinge yourself. It's a good system

    Barely Running Believe its a CMP issue.

    We've been talking a lot on this and I'm stumped. It almost sounds heat soak related. New cam and crank sensor and same issue. Even with the quality of today's parts that points to something other than the sensors. A crossfire might rock the slack in the chain but it's all new. I would spray...

    Ecm delete f to keep abs

    I don't have an answer to that question. I hate abs with a passion so I would be happy to lose it lol. I don't know why everyone that does an ls swap wants an aftermarket computer. An 0411 or p59 can be tuned with a $100 or under dongle and free software. The aftermarket computers leave **** on...

    93 ext cab short box engine swap

    That shouldn't be a problem. 2 piece flywheel, spread bore intake with tbi adapter i would use ebl elb ? Flash. You have the good trans and it is a stick so you don't need trans control and you can tune to your hearts content with that system. I would put a vortec pump on your sending unit ep381...

    Time to replace stock exhaust on 97 K1500 Z71

    On my 99 suburban I used the h pipe listed and a cat back system like the one shown but with a 2 in 2 out muffler. Sounds good had a rap to it but isn't too loud and doesn't drone. At the price now days I would have an exhaust shop so it. I had less in the entire system than the car back kit...
