What else can I help you with?
Can you replace a 350 vortec with a 305 vortec in a 1996 silverado?
Yes you can. There are a few sensors that are different but after swapping them over it will run. The mounts and bolt pattern are the same. You will certainly be stepping back as far as performance and power goes. Not only does it obviously have fewer cubic inches but the heads lack the flow that the 350 vortec heads have, The 305 Vortec heads also do not have the famous Vortec heart shaped combustion chamber as the 350 heads. The 305 head also has smaller valves and smaller runners. You can also swap the other way and place a 350 vortec in where a 305 was. I have personally done these swaps with no troubles at all.
Will 1996-1999 vortec heads work on my 1972 350 engine?
Short answer is yes. But unless you use the same model intake you will have to "hog out" the center bolt holes on the manifold. This is due to the angle of the bolts. With the holes slotted or elongated it will still seal fine. I owned a '78 Chevy PU with this mod done to it with no problems. buy edelbrock intake and u'll make good power with those heads.
How good are vortec heads?
You won't find better iron, readily available Chevy heads. Had my set for years. Had 1.60 stainless Ferrara Ex valves put in, so I could run nos. 150. Put in beehive springs good for 550 lift. Done deal. 350/vortec/ air gap/650 DP/HOT Chevy hyd roller. maybe 425 hp. And all the OLD Chevy stuff fits! Headers, water pump, power strng, distributors, Vortec heads and intake wil fit on any 350 Chevy. Best value for SBC of all time..
Can you put 2000 Chevy 350 Vortec heads on a 1995 Chevy 350 block and increase horsepower with out modifications?
http://www.customclassictrucks.com/techarticles/0405cct_vortec_cylinder_heads_small_block_chevy/index.html This will answer all your questions. Yes it can be done. There's a bit more to it than just torquing on a new set of heads, but if you can replace heads, you can more than handle the rest of it. Should flow much better than the stock TBI heads. Vortec heads flow far better!
What has to be done to convert a 98 350 vortec in a Z71 to carberated and make the tranny shift?
You will have to get a new intake manifold that will fit a 350 with vortec heads. For the tranny to shift correctly including going into overdrive there is a vacuum kit you can get, but it will only work on some overdrive trannys. A company like Summit should be able to help you with the correct answers. If you can not get a kit for your tranny then you could always locate a 700R out of a earlier model truck.
Can you replace the 5.3 Liter Vortec with the old 5.7 Vortec in a 2001 Silverado 1500?
it can be done but the 5.3 is a much stronger block. don't get me wrong i love the old sbc and especial the vortecs but the 5.3 is stronger. a simple cam and intake swap can wake it up big time. also the junk yards are full of the 5.3 engines. the 5.7 vortec is getting harder to find.
How much powerwill a 355?
never know until you get it on a dyno. And what mods have been made. Such as intake/exhaust porting have been done. what size heads it has or whatever.
What would the estimated horsepower be on a 383 with cam headers pistons edelbrock intake and carb?
without swaping heads or getting head work done your looking at approximatly 400 hp depending on the cam and intake and carb match.
Just had intake gasket done on 350 and I believe block was not drained properly if antifreeze was left in engine how fast would it wreck engine?
It would trash the engine bearings real quick. Antifreeze in the oil is a for sure engine getter. I just got done rebuilding a 98 350 vortec that had antifreeze in the oil do to the intake gasket leaking and all the engine bearings were trashed.
What is the torque for bolts on 97 vortec 350 heads?
The manual for the 5.7 vortec says 22 ft. pounds and then gives different angles of turn for a second step. But I have done it twice and used 3 steps and had no problems step one-25 ft pounds step two-50 ft pounds step three-70 ft pounds that has worked for me
Will 351 Cleveland heads fit a 302 Windsor block?
No it would not This is not totally correct, you can drill out the water ports located on the front of the heads block surface just enough to put shallow freeze plugs in them. then drill out the intake surface side to allow water passage through the intake manifold. and last but not least, you will need to purchase an after market intake for a Bogus Boss if your 351 Cleveland heads are the 2brl variety or if your lucky enough to have 4brl heads just find real 302 boss parts to finish out the job. I have done this 2 times and it will make your 302 come alive.
Set timing on 4.3 vortec?
