Getting ready to go pick my truck up. Got new vortec heads/ roller rockers/Edlbrock air gap intake/ and Holley Avenger Off Road carb. Labor was $120 to take it apart and put it back together. Asked him if it ran better and he just smiled and said yes!

Sounds like a smokin deal, just $120 for labor? Eager to hear what kind of difference you feel.

SUUWEET!

Estanley · 10-31-2002, 12:06 PM

Do they make roller rocker for Vortec heads?

70c10 · 10-31-2002, 01:37 PM

Mudder,
Your truck is already so cool, can't wait to hear how the new mods work out. Great deal on that labor price too!

Jmac05 · 10-31-2002, 01:42 PM

What is your engine size? Can you tell me the model number for the heads you got??

**1971Stepside** · 10-31-2002, 01:42 PM

Bout time! No let's go sling some mud....

Glad to hear you got her going.

Mudder · 10-31-2002, 02:19 PM

Been outside trying to get the damn horn to work so it'll pass state inspection. I works now bit sounds like crap. Be back later to answer all questions. Definately has more get up and go!

Heres the page I got my head kit from. http://www.sdpc2000.com/cart.asp?act...art&catid=2172 They do have roller rockers for the vortecs. Its a 350/ 300hp. The kit I got is at the bottom of the page and was 940 bucks.

Estanley · 10-31-2002, 04:49 PM

The way I read it : It says Vortec roller heads...stamped steel rockers. I think they say roller because Vortec engines have roller lifters. I think???????????

Can anyone add to this.

Pont · 10-31-2002, 06:14 PM

Randy, you keep adding mods like this and I'll never catch-up with you. Slow down and give a brother a chance

Mudder · 10-31-2002, 06:52 PM

You dont have anything to catch up with,with the sweet ride you have. Too bad you are so far away or we could get some really good photos together. (Not us, the trucks LOL). Estanley the roller rockers came with the rockers in another box. Guys, can tell a lot of difference and the carb isnt dialed in yet. Romps really good now. Its quiet a bit louder!!!!!!! Now just gotta get the flex fan off and get my electric one going.

**Yukon Jack** · 11-01-2002, 04:37 PM

Good to hear its working. Wonder if you could get a sound clip of it?

Pont · 11-02-2002, 06:02 AM

LOL, I hear ya Randy, pics of the 67's would be cool, side by side, step and fleet. I still drool when I see your truck. Yours has been the biggest motivation for me to fix mine up. Maybe someday, I'll be proud enough to rank mine up with yours. Keep up the good work buddy.

Mudder · 11-02-2002, 12:06 PM

Jack one of my Supertraps has come apart and is rattling so it doesnt sound that great right now. Gotta call summit and try to get the replacement parts to rebuild them I guess. Pont I made all the changes to try to stay up with you! Youre breaking my checkiing account. I just know there are some bad ass 4x4's on this board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
