That’s an awesome conversion.

Thanks..I'll be posting a few more videos of getting it dialed in

I’ve done this swap. Truck has nv4500. 750 vac secondary. Runs very well awesome throttle response. Only problem is I live up in a cold winter climate and no heat crossover in heads can cause the odd issue. But still starts in -30 lol.

@GMCOldsRichmond yes sir..no choke just let her warm up a few and she's ready to work..never had a choke on anything when I lived in NY

[@jasonmoravec2527]

Would love to know the fuel mileage. If it changes it anyway

[@tandjperformancesouthflorida]

I'll let you know..still tuning on it at the moment..but I'll definitely do a comparison

[@Ls6chris]

Do you have the link or part numbers for the Amazon intake?/carb?

[@tandjperformancesouthflorida]

@Ls6chris I don't but I just went on there and chose the one I liked ..you can use any intake for a big block..you just have to decide what type of carb you wanna run..if I can find the link I'll post a pic..thanks for watching and commenting

Did you have to change the gear on the distributor to work with the cam?

[@tandjperformancesouthflorida]

No sir..works fine with no issues

[@tchapps88]

Gm factory roller cams are steel, generic hei distributors have an iron gear for flat tappets, eventually if you dont replace the cam gear with a bronze or melonized gear it will eat itself, unless you replace the cam in which most aftermarket generic roller cams have an iron gear.

[@JohnDoe-en9ch]

@@tchapps88 That was my concern. Thanks for the clarification.
