84 K20 "Ethel" Not an Sbc/NV4500/241C
- Thread starter sreidmx
- Start date
Semi restoration of a 1984 K20 pickup.
5.3 LS, nv4500, np241c.
Hahahah lol dick! Only manual I would consider is a nv5600 which is a waste behind a 5.3..
It's not a 6.2 thing for me, it just seems backwards to part out what my region would consider a perfect, unmolested work truck, plus he had complained about having to fix the crunched fender. I thought he'd be dollars ahead by buying a $300 chassis that isn't crunched, but evidently not. I also thought that a stick shift swap would be easier than the 4L80 he now has. But evidently not.
Steve, your threads bounce through more potential ideas than do most threads.
FWIW, I don't think a name change is necessary.
I dream big... I'm an optimist. I have lots of ideas, that's just how I am if I was a millionaire I'd be broke in a year probably because I'd be building ten trucks at the same time...
I understand the ambition and the dreaming big. I take a similar approach to life (though my hobbies lately haven't been automotive, so they don't show up here). That's why I have a K5 even though the dreams quickly outgrew it. At one point it was an idea, which later morphed into a Suburban.
I eat pizza with salad on it and sometimes fish...

Steve, don't listen to these guys that have to make up for there lack of manliness by driving a stick shift and bragging about it.
For you this combo will be fine, add a nice Torquey cam and a exhaust, with a good tune and you will have a nice little 380-400hp setup there. And there is nothing wrong with a stout 4L80E.

maybe you should put a h.o. 5.0 with a c6 in your tow chase crawler trugy work truck..... that way it's similar to your blanco
Or how about an L33
Great idea.. I'll come take that from the bronco in your driveway..
I think it's an lm4

If it was mine I would look for a 8.1, or find a 454 to stroke out to a 489 and dump an efi kit on top.
But if you already have the 5.3, just go with what you have planned.
Haters gonna hate

I woulda done that but it'll see more miles not towing so mpg is a factor..
. Driving my friends NV5600 makes me want to punch kittens.
If it's a ford zf6 then yes, no oil pump in the gm zf
Lol here comes the Ferd again.
