Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

? I have a 1990 454TBI can I put any kind of 454 Aluminium intake on it or does it have to be a specific model to put a carb on it?

Not sure about the BB but small blocks have 4 bolts that are straight down verses angled for the TBI and vortechs and they need a specific style of intake or you can do what i have done and angle them out with a drill and go with it

From what I understand, some of the 454's come stock with an adapter to mount the tbi to a carb intake...I'm not sure if they all were like this or if it was certain years. All of the 454's with tbi I have seen have perimeter valve cover bolts, so I'm guessing maybe the heads stayed the same from carb to tbi...

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

New trans and converter in again


had to swap out the spindle from a '91 because the '95 ones had bigger inside diameter bearings and the rotors are about $30 more each because of the ABS that i was not using. Got teh new brake lines and calipers on it (sorry Joe i forgot to get the pic when done )



Got most of the wiring all straightened out in engine bay but still have the taillight wires to go. All sensors on engine and filled with oil. Have to take back oil filter and trans filter (got to shop and oil filter was missing the O ring and trans filter was not even close but the box was right.. got the trans cross member holes drilled to mount to the frame and now its down to the nitty gritty
