I installed my new HEI today with much satisfaction! The popping is pretty much gone now, and the truck has never run smoother or accelerated quicker then before! New set of plugs and we should be good to roll! :metal: Pictures tomorrow and a video in a few weeks. :chevy:

So I went and used my truck today...Couple cold cranks and she fired right off. When hot..takes only 1/2 a crank. The new HEI makes a heck of a difference...pulled my plugs for an exam...and we are running just a tad hot. Might need to go a step cooler...but I think as long as I'm running 92 octane I should be good...runs like a dream...now time for some nitrous! :lol:

Should work just fine. The bell housings are identical between 6 and 8 cylinder chevy engines. You will have to change out the u- joints and such, cause ones a GM-1000 and the other a GM-2000? Half and three quater ton trucks have different style u- joints and such. Your tranny is either a Saginaw or a Muncie. :chevy:
