383 stroker swap. any help/walkthroughs muchly appreciated!
yes thanks ive got that far on my own lol what im puzzled about is the fuel delivery? i dont think that stock spider assembly will put out enough when a guy starts laying into the throttle. it might be okay in the lower rpms- foxrider251

Yes i realize this now, im just gonna go with the 383 and swap the head over from my vortec. Now ffs dont tear me apart for this but from what ive been seeing it appears easier to adapt the vortec fuel delivery system and get the computer re tuned to run the 383.

yeah i mean even if i throw a fresh 350 block in with a full edlebrock top end if i build it right i should be pushing 400 horse, but then ill have to pull the tranny too and do heavy duty clutches and shift kits which isnt too big of a deal- foxrider251

being a 95 that thing should be a TBI which if the case i recommend 100 times over keeping that kon NBGuy. ive had two TBIs in life and i would take them over any of my Vortecs.- foxrider251

Gonna buy a new used tahoe.
honestly auto 4 wheel drive is a terrible idea and not needed IMO, my kon has it and ill never engage it. just the idea of it trying to engage while everythings already moving at a good rate of speed just doesnt seem to add up to longevity of the driveline especially on older units like ours, my...- foxrider251

yeah i know it wasnt the best thing to do, gotta learn to control that temper lol and yeah i checked the oil and coolant for any signs of a head gasket issue (ive had a chevy 350 with a bad headgasket before) but nothing. it will only heat up when you put throttle into it as soon as you let off...- foxrider251
