Yes, however, in 89, Chevy started to update the small block, and came out with the SB2, or first gen., Vortec, and redesigned the cylinder heads. One of the changes they finally made was to change the head angle, in relation to the block deck. This also changed the intake manifold/cylinder head, relationship, making this intake non interchangable, with the SB1, or the standard heads.
Before 2000, yes. After, no.
Straight-most use the same manifold fitting as the brake booster & not the carb.
Small block Chevy,because parts are available almost anywhere.
The majority of older people are unable to adapt to change is false. They are able to adapt the same as young people.It is false that the majority of older people are unable to adapt to change. They can adapt the same as young people.
The older ones, non ecotec are not overhead cam. they Use the cam in block with pushrods.
Any small block Chevy that's older then 1999 will bolt right to it.
Chevy in 1977 changed the rear main oil seal to a one piece seal. the older crankshaft wont work.
Older people can adapt to change the same as any one else.
That is a later unit. They had temp., sensors in it. Plug them, or get an older one, without them.
Sure. There were some crate motors that came that way to suit newer and older applications.
In my Chevy 1500 with the 305 Vortec, the problem was the lower intake manifold gasket, which is the one that seals it to the engine block. On your 3800 V6 (in a Silverado? I didn't know that; I thought it was the 4.3, maybe it's an older or newer year than my body style), it could very well be the same. There is also a coolant line coming out of the manifold, if I'm not mistaken. Could be to the thermostat, but I don't have the truck anymore. To the best of my knowledge, that would be the easiest and cheapest thing to check.
I believe 180 F for most of the older small block chevy. Make sure the head gasket has "steam holes" since only the 400 uses them. The steam holes are above and below adjacent cylinders. Dennis
