1990 Chevy Silverado hotrod

I bought a 1990 half ton SB (99,000 original miles) with a rebuilt factory 350 (mild cam) and 3.73 gearing. I installed a power chip with 160 thermostat and also installed a K & N filter charger along with flowmaster exhaust plus a Corvette fluid servo in the tranny for lightning fast shifts and WOW! I've got a little hot rod on my hands! I must have hit the right combo cause this truck really screams now. Traction is a problem sometimes even with 29 X 12.50 street Hoosiers. Its always nice to pull up next to a new Mustang GT at the lights or one of those Hemi Dodges and proceed to let them examine my tailgate at a rapid rate. I have sunk 10 times more money in a truck before without this result

Replaced motor with another 350 motor with less miles, around 80000 miles, last summer. I only drive it back and forth to work which is about 30 round trip.

I have had this truck for 7 years and i have used it for everything from pulling stumps in the yard, to moving to hauling trash and it always comes back for more. I now have over 180,000 miles on it and it is getting tired, but it has never broke down on me. before parts go, i just have it addressed before it blows up. It has common 350 problems ( valve guide seals, oil consumption) but over all it was a very good value for the buck.

I just got my 1993 1500 in June. these trucks look their best either jacked up or slammed. i went for the slammed look. i got the truck 5 inches off the ground, aluminum rims, roll pan front bumper cover kit, 5-speed trans., which i just hooked up a 350ci to. over the summer i had the 4.3L V6, which did not have enough cahonies. i got the 350ci out of an 1989 2500. this engine was scary in the 2500, i can't wait to see how it performs in my truck. Just wanted to brage and say that these trucks are excellent street machines that can do the heavy work. Chevy trucks RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
