Did you use the stock Differential? I'm doing the same swap, but people say the differential will go out right away. Other say they've driven on the stock 10 bolt 7.5" with a 350 for years. I don't plan on beating mine up but want to do 4wd donuts in mud

Love the build its vary blue though

In 1956, 2nd year of the SBC and the first year of the 283, you could have ordered a 11/1 compression, Duntov solid lifter 283, if you checked the right box at the dealer. In LATE 1955, the first year of the Sbc, you could have ordered a 265ci, With 11/1 compression, Duntov solid lifter cam setup. The MOST RARE, of the sbc's because it was the first hi performance parts you could have had on that first year sbc from the factory.

it seems a shame to waste compression ratio on two valve reliefs that aren't needed on one side of the piston because people cant remember which way to fit there pistons to rods ......wtf

is this what I havE ? I have a 5.7 v8 1988 vandura

I have a 2003 Sonoma 4.3 that I’m swapping. Looking over fuel pump info, seems the stock pump for this year should work fine. Anyone that has more knowledge on the different years and pump psi? Specs for a Delphi stock replacement put psi at 62.

Jay where is a good place to buy cam and lifters for a 1992 350 TBI? I keep hearing news about a plague of bad cams and lifters not even surviving break-in.

Looks like a junkyard parts special SBC, just bilt shit together that makes a running engine, good to get you down the road in a pinch. That's why I love SBC engines and parts. SHTF and these general parts still bolt together and run.

Ok. Ok? Ok.

I have a veteran needs a 283

Excellent video series. Very nice job. I will be pulling a core 350 from a 'yard to use as a garage rebuild for my '95. I will be doing my homework extensively and your videos will be referenced repeatedly. ✌️

Bought a 283 shortblock in the spring, it's a 58 fuel injected Vette engine still on the stock bore. I pulled one piston out of it and the rod bearing doesn't even look like it's been run. It has dome pistons I guess 11 to 1 maybe, and they're short little buggers, looks like it's been balanced. I think I'm going to stick it in my 55 Belair, kind of a heavy car but I can still have some fun with it. I have a pair of 462 2.02 fuelie heads I thought about using on the 283 but with the stock bore I'm wondering if I'm going to have trouble with the valves hitting the pistons, some have told me they'll be fine, and others say the valves will hit.

excellent videos, well done

where do you get the valve cover grommets?

A bright paint can show potential problems before they become a problem. Exhaust leaks, fluid leaks, loose stuff.

I'm having issues with my headers hitting passenger side frame. What kind of headers are those . Send my a link

Too much talking

I practically poop my pants whenever I take the hub and balancer off my LT1 (it's basically a small block chevy). I have two of them, one when I took off the factory hub the tool broke when it was about halfway off so I smacked it the rest of the way off with a hammer and block of wood. Both have a super damper on now and those are really deep and need a special took to take off (the crow foot won't do it). When I say you impact it off I almost had a heart attack!

The TBI years were the best! I love TBI, simple, reliable, cheap to repair.

I like your videos very straight forward. I also like to know this engine. Can you put it in an older vehicle like the 70s without all the sensors?

Remember feel on thrust side of crank next time ! Also not 1/16 rings ? Odd for tall pistons .

Hello jay, I'm a new fan. I would not worry about how others do things, what you are actually, indirectly teaching are very good habits and great common sense. Thank you for getting on this educational and professional way of working on these engines. Wish you all well.

Break it down. I’m am curious because those are clearly aftermarket heads, and the harmonic balancer does not look like 283

Thanks for the excellent videos, very thorough.

Excellent video! worth a subscription for sure!

Like the old saying goes, "no replacement for displacement ". I put a 75 Cadillac 500 in a 77 Chevy pickup, compared to the 350, the 500 had lots more Torque, and even better fuel mileage on highway. (16 MPG )

Have you made a video about rebuilding 4L60-E transmission would like to see that. Great job on rebuilding TBI engine a lot of help.

what radiator did u go with?

Im in Saskatchewan to 🙂 45min north of east of Kindersley 👊

Newest comments, four months ago so I’m just gonna comment now I just did. The installment video is perfect 10 out of 10 worked for a 2000 S-10 blazer makes to run and shift, smooth only issue I had was a snap ring. My god those are terrible 😅

What starter did you use

I’ll take the engine

I think you are helping alot of people with their first build for sure. Did you lube the rear seal? Not sure if i caught that...Thanks for sharing

Ive got an 87 GMC Jimmy with the 350 TBI. Been sitting for 10 years because it was burning oil real bad. Im going to watch your rebuild video next. Ive considered just buying a replacement engine for about 5 grand to put in there. Never pulled or rebuilt an engine before....but thanks for this. Doing my research at the moment to see the way forward.

Wish you showed the airbox with the fenders and hood on the truck.

Have a question What would cause the # 1 an # 2 rod Bering spin 30;000 miles on a long block auto zone so called factory built Never abused Proper maintenance oil change; 3;000 miles changed Engine always had a vibration Always great oil pressure, filter always changed with oil change Any idea,please why or what to look for why…or just bad machine work… Bore 30 over everything new , reground crank,dbl rollers timing chain an chain still like new metal all the way through, affected all the lifters ( full metal shavings,that was expected) from rod Bering Totally ruined Bering a crank,compression 180 all cylinders no valves leaking, just two rods Bering burnt #1&#2. Didn’t make no sense or wrong Bering size on turned crank Like ur work an explanation on everything Ki Like watching ur. Work sir.

I raced 283 engines from 60s into the 90s on the street and never balanced any of them. They took everything i threw at thema, and i wasnt nice to them! Lots of vev.

What about the ECM electrical? Did u use the one that was in the vehicle originally ??

brilliant explanation for people who are not into it. better than any movie. thank you, greetings from Spain

Great videos

i am in Australia and own a grey import,, a 1992/93 GMC C1500 2x4 extra cab pickup.. its a 350tbi 4L60E 4x 2 vehicle.My vehicle was made in Canada and sold new in Mc Phersons in Carson California and bought to Australia and changed to right Hand Drive and run into the ground until 2022 when i bought it. I notice some of the car is metric and some areas UNC, UNF,, SAE bolts. I will rebuild the engine and put a carby on it due to lack of parts here for these.

What size is that bolt???? Angle grinder.

Do the same rules apply for a second gen s10? And are shorty headers easier to deal with?

Can anyone tell me where the pipe plugs go into the block?

Key is a little bit ultra black silicone is good

Don't know why but that looks like thread lock applied to the main cap bolts

I wonder what whp this puts down

Your overthinking it buddy....just turn the engine quarter turn and check each pushrod for looseness. If there are any loose pushrods then tighten rockerhead bolt until pushrod has no slack. Repeat until all pushrods are taught. Simple and not confusing. Men make everything more confusing then it needs to be with engine assembly i swear.

So, bottom line what would you consider this job would cost a person?

I need a 283 for my 64 impala.
