Joking.. a tbi motor could never do that.. not enough power cause that big ol cam ya got in tharrr

I've broken multiple Dana 60 stub shafts with a tired stock 350 TBI.

So verdict is done on the Holley BBC style throttle body.

Little more power above 3000 RPM, but no huge gains. Not a surprise considering the heads I have aren't a high flow, and cam numbers in the mid 400s.

Biggest issues is some odd vacuum conundrums. Doesn't always return to idle properly.
So the factory 5.7 throttle body is back on

BBC spacer for sale $20

Loading up for Moab now. Tools are already in. Aside from the last minute retuning, truck is hopefully good to go. Put about 200 miles on it in the last week. Other than the aforementioned post, no issues

Watch, now you will damage your purdy tailgate somehow.

Have fun and take risks.

Oh, and pictures.

If I bang the tailgate, I probably have bigger problems than the paint!

Sure you can't make the BBQ tomorrow?

Hoping for pictures. My copilot this year likes taking pictures

Duh

So undisclosed issue apparently. 203 popped out of gear with a helluva bang yesterday on Steel Bender. Unsure the exact details, but that coincides with no longer having a 2nd gear in the 465...

Hoping to ride with my crazy uncle today.

Dang! Muddysub ko'd his trans and now you? Are no transmissions safe in Moab?
I thought you have a spare 465 back home but if you need one in a pinch I still have the 465 from my 75. Yell at me if you need/want it. I'll even deliver.

I've got a spare 32 spline unit taking up space. But overnight shipping to Moab would be a tad pricey. Sucks about the tranny!

5 transmissions out here so far

 

[Bent77]

Did find Friday and also today riding in @mrk5 's CC, saddle tanks suck and need to go away

I believe this is the true surprise here, but so glad to hear it!
