Stay tuned as we upgrade this old 350 with #vortec heads, and #edelbrock rpm air-gap intake!

Awesome vid, it’s great seeing uncut content for big jobs like this

Good video. I got a 86 C30 and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to do this. Got some pretty bad oil blow by out of the tail pipes.

I need to do this to my work truck. I blew mine on my way to work due to a failed thermostat that got stuck closed. Mine luckily didnt get too hot to cause damage to the lower end.

That is sooo much work🤯

What cylinder heads did you use I have a blown head gasket that I have to replace and I might as well replace the cylinders with Vortec cylinder I drive a 1985 GMC 3 quarter ton

[@jward9637]

Aren’t the Vortex heads for a 3.4 liter? Same block size I’m thinking.

Vortec heads came on 96-2000 5.7 sbc. 906 and 062 castings. Only difference between 906 and 062 castings is; 906 came on HD and 1 ton trucks, and had “hardened” exhaust valve seats.
