Finally making some time for this in between working on the ongoing M715 build Here’s the FJ40… I’ve owned this since 2000 when it was a bone stock rusty basket case. It’s been through the standard evolution of changes. In 2003, I installed the Vortec 5.7 from a 1996 Suburban and at...

Does the I-6 4200 Vortec have the same bell housing bolt pattern as the V-8 LS?

My daughter and I drove up into the hills, roughly 1500' of elevation gain from our house--5K to around 6500' at right around 90F. Right before we turned off the highway, my 1969 with 5.3L Vortec simply shut down. I pulled over to the side of the highway and tried to restart it--nothing...

While browsing Craigslist this past Friday I saw a rig listed 15mi from my house that looked a lot like a rig I had regrettably sold about 10 years ago. After a phone call to the seller, I confirmed it was mine and we made the deal this weekend. Everything I did to the truck previously from...

I posted this video on a couple Vortec forums, noone so far seems to know what the cause of this noise is... I posted this video: So I'm going to throw it up here and see if all you "toyota guys" can shed some light on the situation. Happens when warm. Takes a minute to start again when...

So, this is a bit of a rant... please forgive... but I figured I'd share my hard earned experience and perhaps save others some hardship in the process. DO NOT BUY A 412 DUAL FLEX-A-LITE FAN SET FOR YOUR VORTEC SWAP... There, I said it. Feels good. Now... why? You may be thinking, "I thought...

Hey all I've had my cruiser for a couple years now and it's served me well on many adventures, but at the miles creep up, my quest for power drives ever onward. Now in my possession is a zero-mile '04 GM 5.3 L59 that I intend to have carry me throughout the forests and hills; getting there is...

Hey guys, I searched around the internet for awhile and was unable to get a clear answere. Is it necessary to weld reinforcement plates anywhere on the frame to hand a V8 with 350+ horsepower conversion and not tear the frame up? Thanks!

Trying to start truck after 3+ years of it sitting. I had pulled the 5.3L Vortec/h55 a while back, sold the h55 and installed an nv4500. Cranks over fine but it appears it's got no spark. I cannot find the temp sender wire from the harness and the tranny wires are not connected, other than...
