vortec

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!

Greetings, Long time lurker but first post.... I recently purchased a 1970 FJ40 that had a 350 conversion and have since sold the engine and tranny with the intent to replace it with a 5.3 fuel injected engine and a 4L60E transmission. I now have a donor truck (1999 Silverado 4x4 with auto...

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...

Went with mechanical fan etc., so I have a dual fan I would like to trade for an fj60 battery tray and TC linkage. I had bought it new when my 60 got the transplant and ran it for around 30K miles. Truck has been sitting for about 3 years and now bringing it back to life. Let me know what you...

After about 3 years of my 60 not running, I am at the point that I can try to start it. I connected a new battery today but it does not turn over. I found the ignition (??) green wire broken but I am not sure where it connects to since I cannot find the other broken end. Motor is a 2004 5.3L...

Looking for some suggestions here as I'm at the end of my rope and flat out fed up with Griffin Thermal Products I've had (3) of these units fail in the past two years. The unit I have is as seen below Griffin Performance Fit Radiator Combos CU-00009-LS Summit warrantied the last one 2 months...

Hi everyone, I would like to hear from people who have converted to the LS or vortec engine. Did you regret using the H55f over the 4l60e?? have you had problems with the h55f behind the v8? I just bought a donor car and with and ls1 and the 4l60e, i was planning on using the whole GM drive...

Hi Guys, The P.O of my rig had installed a FJ62 intake w/ the snorkel outlet box. With the vortec, and the way its setup, its suffocating it. Picture a fat kid running a mile while breathing through a straw. Since its not a diesel, and I wont be fording any rivers that would necessitate the...

After extracting the Toyo motor, tranny & t-case I laid out the Chevy/GMC motor and auto tranny alongside and wonder if I can use the GMC transfer case if I flip the tranny mount flange upside down and run it that way? Anyone ever try that? FX

I'm looking for advice on my Evap system charcoal canister. First some background: This is for a Gen III vortec in an FJ62, and it has to pass Cali smog. I committed to using my FJ62 in-tank pump. In restrospect it may have been better to modify the tank to accept the GM unit. My harness...
