My GMC S15 might have blowed up.

Re: I'm confused on which spark plugs to run in a Vortec 350ci engine

To add to what Tuner said=My vortecs did not like over 30 deg. total. I used what ever a 97 chevy 350 vortec ran for plugs from factory sorry I do not remember the numbers.

Re: 350 SBC compression change?

It is zero decked with the flat top pistons with 2 valve reliefs. I have 64 cc heads. I am just guessing that its 10 1/2 comp. with the 39 thou. head gasket. So maybe 10.8 now. Good bye 87 octane :shock:

I guess there is a lot of rust on the lobes. If so how are you gonna polish it out?

Vortec heads on 302 sbc?

My home made 302 chevy 283 125 thous over. It has been run for years. It has 12/5 to 1 pistons. I have not tried to put the 350 vortecs on it yet. Iḿ thinking :roll: there will be major valve clearance problems even with a small lift cam. Any one tried this type of combo before?
