    5.7L Non-Vortec to Vortec conversion

    Yes was a no brainer back then. I think a 5.0 or 5.7 was about $3200-$3400 plus freight no core charge. Reman was like $2200-2400. Maybe off a couple hundred on each but no matter who folks got the reman from it was 50/50. i think the same package i got from Mich Motorz now is about $2 k more...

    5.7L Non-Vortec to Vortec conversion

    Its great if you have a local machine shop who can do a quality rebuild. Stories like yours is whyi bought a new base engine vs rebuilt. Of course this was in 2015 when the difference between new and reman was just under $1k. i assume you have a noticeable increase in power with the vortec?

    No spark out of distributor - Mercruiser 140 I/O

    3.0 s are always loud. Id swear on the trailer my 3.0 in my previous boat was louder than the 5.0 in my current boat id hang onto your points as both on here and the muscle car forums you tend to see a fair amount of pertronix failures. If you cleaned points and set dwell they would probably...

    When you are cruising along 3200-4000 rpm that is part throttle, not highway cruise which can go leaner than 14.7, but it it not WOT acceleration. if your cruise is basically ok you just need a leaner rod on the rich/ power end and leaner secondary jets. probably want to get the afr tweaked in...

    Over-Temp alarm installation

    All chicks and disco balls aside looking at the specs for that kit the temp switch trips at 200 F. Not sure if that is too high for a 3.7? I was under the understanding that the 3.7 was very intolerant to even minor overheats before it spits a head gasket. Not sure if others here can confirm...
