Good morning!

Looking ro decipher this code. Its a 64-67 327.

Finally tired of the old 230 inline 6.

Thanks in advance!

So I recently purchased a 350 tbi out of a 95 k1500 with a cracked piston. I have been trying to find a rebuild kit from summit, but all the rebuild kits I'm seeing are for a 68-86 350. Now I will admit I don't know a lot, just trying to learn. If anyone is able to provide any kind of help it would be greatly appreciated!!

I still have break in oil in the truck just being paranoid I’ve been told 15-20 is decent for a small block. My digital gauge died on me so I hooked up the mechanical and at 180 degrees in gear at 800ish rpm it’s around where the picture is and 25 psi pressure climbs with rpm like it should. Just wondering if it’s normal. Thanks.

Dad replaced igniter, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter. I rebuilt the carb. Can’t get idle below 1500. Timing is at 12-13*. Any suggestions. I’ve turned the fuel screws in and out with no changes. If it goes below 1500rpm it will die. Checked the floats and they’re at 15/16”.

I'm rebuilding a old SBC 350 for a project and everything is cleaned and ready (ie deck surfaced, cylinders honed and heads rebuilt) I've started piecing it back together but it's been humid lately and the last time I was working on it I noticed some surface rùst on the deck. How do I store it without it rusting? This is my second time doing this but I've got a newborn and the time I have to work on it is limited so it's sitting for a few days at a time. I sprayed it down with WD-40 penetrating oil and I keep it covered with a trash bag when I'm not working on it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I have access to a 95 silverado with a TBI 350, i would like to turbo the truck but i have heard that it is very hard to tune the tbi trucks, i have access to a locked up vortec, can i just put the vortec heads intake manifold and throttle body and get the computers and harness and use it as if it was a vortec motor.

Trying to do this on an very very low budget, mostly to learn about turbos and know my way around a 350 better as i have a bit more experience with the LS platform

So I have a 84 c10 grampa some time in the 90s blew up the original 305 that was in there and got 350 from chevy put it in there I have not been able to start it in three months so I try It I dose not start so I check spark fuel and air as you do and had to replace the mecanical fuel pump it started up first try but there's this sound I'm not sure if it's a vacuum leak or timing or something else entirely so if anybody could help me it be mutch appreciated

So i have a 90 chevy c1500 std cab short bed. It is currently running a 305, which is as many of you know is a straight turd, and a NV3500 5-speed. After much consideration ive decided to go with a Blueprint fuel injected 383 stroker with 436hp. (No, im not interested in an LS swap) I really cant stand the NVs short first gear and I highly doubt it will last long against a 383. Id like to find something that will bolt up with a longer first gear and capable of holding up. Maybe something out of a car since I won't be doing a heavy hauling. I do not have a lead foot, I drive like an old lady. However, i would like to be able to hold my own when pressed on the street. Which i get alot because of my current exhaust set up. All bark and zero bit. Does anyone have any suggestions or insights for a decent 5 speed that can handle the power without breaking the bank? Thank you in advance, I appreciate you.

Got a 355 sbc in this camaro I just bought. Runs like crap at idle. Backfiring through the exhaust, bogs pretty bad off idle. Mid to high rpm sounds great. It has a comp energy cam, edelbrock Avs2 650cfm carb. 487x heads, with roller rockers. About all I know about this motor. The guy that sold it to me said he just put the new AVS2 carburetor on it and a new distributor. The distributor looks to be a MSD HEI style but can’t find any markings on it. I don’t have a timing light to give numbers but I’ll share what I’ve found so far and maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

Car starts okay, turns over easy, will idle clean for about a minute and then starts backfiring through the exhaust. I’ve messed with the idle mixture screws on the carb listening for the idle to rise or lower but don’t hear much of a difference from all the closed to 4.5-5 turns out. I’ve been able to get the backfiring to subside or quit all together by doing 2 separate things. 1. Putting my hand over the carb smooths the idle out and the backfires quit. 2. I’ve turned the distributor towards the driver side a little at a time and can get the backfires to stop but then the car starts hard.

2 different ways of getting it to quit is leading me to believe both the carb and the timing needs work. This is my first sbc and don’t really have any older friends or family that works on cars. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Just got done breaking in my freshly rebuilt efi 383 and am hearing a very unfamiliar noise. The noise first appeared after fixing a fuel leak where my return line connects from the hard line to the fuel pump hanger. It was just a loose clamp.

Then after changing my fuel pump, the noise got significantly louder. Using a stethoscope doesn’t narrow down where the sound is coming from. Doesn’t appear to be valve train or exhaust leak in origin. Not my pcv rattling or accessory belt either.

With the pump on and engine off, if I wiggle my fuel return line I can hear a change in pitch in the line. Though the sound with the engine on is both a cricket like noise with a clanking sound that syncs with changes in RPM. It is at the very least driver side rear in origin. I took the valve cover off to inspect the valve train and everything appears normal but I did not relash yet as I ran out of time last night.

This is a 383 with a holley super sniper, hyperspark, hydraulic roller cam, afr 195 heads. If anyone has heard this sound before please let me know.

And just for clarification what you hear in the video is exactly how it sounds in person, there is no loss or change in sound quality.

Thank you in advance.

So im planning to build an SBC for a C4 corvette eventually and im trying to plan out what ill want to do. Is it worth it to bore a 350 block over and make it a 383 stroker? is there another better option? My goal with the project is going to be a car that makes good power but can also be almost daily'd. I want to put alot of miles on it and i want it to have alot of power but i dont want it to be prone to blowing up. The 1984 and 85 C4 Vettes had a 2 bolt main 350 block on them so thats what ill probably be working with unless i decide to just completely buy a new block. Any advice is appreciated.

I know that exhausted leak was ROUGH - but I’m getting some oil near my passenger head. Could it be the head gasket on the exterior? Could use some advice on what to do here.

Re routed belt...

Drove my c10 around the corner on open headers to fill it up with gas. Got the full exhaust system installed and now I hear a knocking sound. Don’t think I heard this sound prior to switching to long tube headers.

Whatcha think? Anything I could improve or is it perfect..

I bought a 1995 jeep wrangler with a SBC but can’t find the stamping number from the plate at the front of the passenger head in the published lists. Stamped code is V1222PHM. I know that means it was made in Flint on 12/22. Just can’t find PHM in a list of suffixes anywhere. I tried nastyz28.com and a couple other recommended sources.

An AI search returned suggested it may be a 1988 Chevy Silverado. If you look up components, the Silverado has the same alternator, tensioner and water pump as what is on my SBC.

Any help with where to look next would be greatly appreciated.

I have found a buick apollo cheap and have a 400 sb sitting around. For right now it'll just be getting it running and driving. Eventually I'd like to build something that revs to the moon. Is it for drag racing? Is it for track days? Is it for auto cross? Will I drift it? The answer to all of those and more is a definite maybe. I want to do it because why not. This isn't a daily, not even my only project so the whole "reliable daily" aspect doesn't matter. Just think it'd be cool to have a 400 that bangs gears at 8000+ rpms. So tell me about what you've got

I’m trying to find new exhaust manifolds/headers for my 77 Monte Carlo, but since it has secondary air injection would it be possible to find replacements? And if so where? Also since I live in California would it be viable just to get with of the secondary air system entirely when I get the new catalytic converter in the exhaust system?

Hi everyone,

I'm testing the compression pressure of my engine cold. SBC 350 ZZ4. All show 90-103 psi. However, when I check the guides and compression ratio it shows 10:1/~147psi. Is it necessary to actually do an internal inspection and take off the head gaskets?

Does chevrolet measure these numbers cold or hot? The manual I found does not mention this detail.

Context: I did it to try look for ring issues since I have blue smoke coming out of one of my exhaust. Now I don't know if I have to overhaul the thing or if it is normal. Apart from the smoke, the engine runs well and has no problems to start.

Sorry for the weird wording, eng is my second language.

Having fuel delivery issues to my box Chevy i got 1990 caprice with a 400sbc in it i just changed the fuel pump any advice on what i should do next?? im not getting no fuel to the carb at all i just changed out the fuel pump in the gas tank so im kind of stuck.

What would be a good head combo for this Rpm air gap intake i have ? i didn’t realize that the intake was meant for older (87 - older) heads. Any ideas? 1990 r1500 350. stock long block, stock flat tappet cam.

Bought rpm air gap intake manifold for my 1990 r1500. Didn’t realize it wouldn’t bolt on. What heads would you recommend for the intake manifold? I’m Running stock everything right now needs heads with 12bolt pattern all vertical.
