Ah crud......that's what I get for putting the cart before the horse. I'm still in the middle of overhauling the whole engine bay/front end. Thanks for the reality check.

Hello Nate and welcome from the South Coast.

Would that be found underneath the front cover? Can I see it through a hole somewhere? I figured since I ordered my engine to be built with mechanical IP in mind, they would leave that off. The 1990 Suburban's don't have any electronic features available on the engine that I can see in the...

Alright! My mechanic used ARP assembly lubes for everything. The other concern was not rotating the assembly and allowing the springs to sit in one static position.

Question: How long after a build can a long block stay stored? I had my 427 rebuilt around 2002 and has been in storage since. So little time and then life getting in the way... Anyways, I still have the '69 vette it came out of and am now wondering if I have to tear it apart just because it...

I'm looking for clarification since this thread deals with the Fluidampr product. There are 2 available products: 800141 which is 2.443" and the 800191 which comes with spacer # 717639 for a total length of 3.18" I'm thinking the two are different based on where the pulleys should line up -...

Everything has to go through customs so the cheapest -- and slowest -- way is by US Mail. Plan on a month or so for delivery. I've gotten stuff out of there for my Vette.

Hey Bison, where can I find the different water pump part numbers & their rotational flow for the 6.5 Turbo???

Not to sound ungrateful, but anything newer than '95 (?) kinda falls outside the specifications for the old-style Suburbans. The bigger issues being the size of the A/C protruding from the firewall and the 4x4 frame bracing and straight axle (all room or clearance issues). As for the water...

BANKS tech says their kit is designed around the 6.2 therefore, I must use 6.2 exhaust manifold. That should help you other guys too. So, it looks like I still need the correct water pump plate for a serpentine setup - can anyone help - please??? Got clear weather to finish touchup paint in...

Guess that depends on how much you are willing to shell out. Power gains can be had in differing amounts/ways. How good is your fresh air intake? How well do your injectors flow? Is your IP "tuned" to it's max potential? Does your exhaust breathe as well as it could? Then there's the...

The 1990 Suburban came with the 6.2 and used GM 14022657 for the driver side (LH) manifold. Question: Since I'm converting to a 6.5 turbo manifold, do I use the original design for the 6.2 OR can I upgrade to the GM 12557359 for 1993 and newer??? I can't quite tell with everything out of the...

I think 'buddy' said it the best. Aftermarket allows for more hp. From my comparisons...every dollar spent towards aftermarket is a dollar reinvested for a happier tomorrow.

Yea, that was the first thing I did. Many I close...but how do I know which to choose???? That's why I requested some numbers to work with. I tried working with the AMG number and going backwards but went nowhere.

Sorry to bother you...but do you happen to know what the casting number would be for the gasser version bracket you sent to Brooklyn Tow??? AM General ran out of their bracket and I need one to finish my project...help?

Pure-gas.org has a very good list of ethanol-free liquid. Happy trails and take your time. Don't be a target out there!

WELCOME as well. Thinking electrical...have the alternator tested. Also, ensure both battery negative cables are properly grounded, not just one of them. And, Thanks for your Service to our country.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I have experienced a transaction from a forum user that has gone south. Not good. For anyone wanting details, please PM. As for the Optimizer 6500, I am now a proud owner of a brand new, .020 over, forged crank, diamond precups, HV/HP oil pump long block for...

HA..You make that sound soooooooooo easy neighbor! Besides, I really don't have the time to modify the A/C to fit the stock GM stuff. I already purchased a brand new Banks Sidewinder (turbo to tailpipe) to take care of the clearance issues and to be able to just bolt in. But back to what you...

I spent over an hour typing out my update and this website "trashed" it? Arghhhhh
