Well thank you sir, I was about to buy one of those controllers and they are over one K now. I did the same thing to my motor and is sitting on the stand ready to go in. I did use the crapy plastic cover and put the reflector wheel in in case I did need it crank sensor hole plugged. What did you do with the knock sensor and the O2 sensors?

TLDR: 1] Make/buy TPS bracket 2] Red wire from coil to HEI ign. 3] White wire from coil to HEI tach. 4] Use stock crank sensor or use white wire from coil to sensor wire 5] Fuel pressure regulator Great info thanks a ton for the video!

You guys saved me A lot of bs. Thank you. I was wondering if i run the cps tps water temp sensor and tach wire to hei if i can run my own power wire to the distributor or do i need to run the power wire from the coil to the hei? I have a switch panel setup and want to control the ignition myself and only use the key for acc power for now.

You can look around and probably find a work around for the tps. I have seen a few videos of working ones that have been fabbed up. If you don’t have a crank sensor I’m betting you will have to tap into a wire on the distributor harness. Older models get their crank signal from here instead. I have not did a conversion on one that old yet so I’m guessing here. I would start looking for a wiring diagram on the distributor harness wires. Hope this helps

Thank you So.. Much for this. My 1996 K1500 keeps breaking down because the spider injection is constantly shorting out. The original Central fuel injection leaked fuel into the oil and took out the main bearings. I replaced the engine and put the updated spider injection on and it keeps shorting out. left me stranded 2 days ago. So... Thank you so much for this. They now want $750 for that transmission module now.

Jb Im doing a 2002 4.3 4x4 s10 carb swap everything is original except the intake, HEI dist. and a Holley 450 with a pressure reg. I have good TPS signal, a new VSS, and a tach signal wired from the old coil I think the white wire.. I have all 4 gears and it shifts out good kinda, the 4x4 shifts in and out as it should. my only issue is the shift time from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd is way to long. I CAN get it to go ahead and shift by backing off the throttle a smidge. I put a line pressure gauge on it and had fluctuations in it also it was 60 in park and neutral but bounces crazy when in gear so i took the MAP sensor from the original intake and feed it manifold vacuum and that seemed to steady the line pressure somewhat and didn't affect anything so i left it. Ive been all over the place with the TPS idle voltage. So that is where I'm at now. I have an issue with the tach bouncing and the speedo fluctuating so im pretty sure I have to stop the fluctuations to solve my problem and Ive seen where you can place a resistor from the HEI tach signal where the wire goes into the dist. Also I emailed Transgo and he mentioned the MAF sensor also was needed, keep in mind this year model 2002 had the spider injection system I don't know if that makes a difference or not, Anyway that's a mouth full I know and it took me most of an hour to type it but I wanted to run it all by you the most knowledgeable person I can find for this setup and all the other commenters attempting this. Haling from Western Ky. Hence the profile pic...lol Thanks to anyone that can give input....

We’ll I’ve yet to have those problems so far but we have only did 3 trucks with this conversion. Adjustment of the TPS should change your shift points around. As far as the voltage changes I’m not sure what could cause that without researching more. As far as the line pressure make sure the pressure cable is pulling the same as the throttle cable from transmission. I’m sorry I’m not much more help. We have actually had pretty good luck just moving the tps around for changing shift points. Keep me updated if you get it figured out!

Thanks for this video! I just spent a small fortune to replace my 350 with a newly rebuilt and stroked 383, but the shop that did the work didn't know how to solve the ECU/ECM shifting issues, so I ended up with everything staying stock, except the longer stroke crankshaft, and better aftermarket heads, but the engine feels exactly the same as it did with the old tired 185,000 mile 350 in it, and I'm very disappointed, which is why I'm searching all over KZitem for what to do next. I'm embarrassed to admit what I paid for my newly built 383 engine, and now I'm going to be short on money to spend fixing it. What I'm after is maximum towing ability at low rpm's, not maximum HP at over 5,500 rpm. Any advice you can give on which parts to buy and can I install them myself, or do I need to have a professional mechanic fix my 1997 GMC K1500? Thanks

Is the motor carbed now or are you still on fuel injection? If you are staying with the factory vortec injection there are a few things you can do to gain some power but you are somewhat limited depending on what you a few wanting to spend? Just wondering what the layout of the motor and trans looks like now ? Thanks

@@jbwrenching361 thanks for your reply, my engine is stock except for the longer crankshaft, RV camshaft, and aftermarket heads. I’m contacting the engine builder now to ask him for an exact parts list, so I will know what I’m starting with. I’d like to keep my budget for the next set of parts to around $1,500 or less if possible for carburetor and intake manifold.

@@traveling.down.the.road56 swapping to carb will definitely not help the gas mileage. It will allow the engine to get the fuel it needs for the power you want. My best advice if you are swapping ti carb is to run a good set of headers. If you are dumping more fuel with carb and engine cant breathe bettter you won’t notice a huge difference. The carb and headers will definitely open the engine up a lot more. I’m pretty sure you can do the swap on a budget for 1500 no problem. Simple wiring for it to shift. You can pick a nice intake up for vortec on eBay for reasonable price along with an hei destributor. We have had good luck with the eBay intakes. The truck in this video was an eBay intake we purchased although he wanted a high rise so it was a bit more pricy. The hei will alllow it to fire a lot hotter than stock one

Being a 97 it should be the exact same process as the video. The engine we built for this truck had a set of aftermarket heads nothing fancy, a 268 comp camshaft intake carb and headers. .30 over stock style pistons and that was it. The truck like it is will throw you back in the seat. It doesn’t take a lot with these engines when your not limited on fuel intake. Although you can get the same power from the fuel injection you are gonna have to upgrade injectors, reprogram Tcm, possibly upgrade the spider injection and few other things here and there, much more cost efficient just to throw a carb on and be done with it. It was night and day difference on this truck for sure. If you are looking for torque at low range I’d keep the rv cam. If it is a roller camshaft like the original the gears won’t match on the hei, so you may need to swap the cam again. I’m not sure if there is a way to change the distributor gear to match as I have never looked into that option but probably possible. Anyway I don’t think you will be disappointed by any means. As long as you are ok with a little less fuel mileage go for it

If you plan to use the Holley tps kit like we did you are gonna need a Holley carb. I may stand corrected but if you go edelbrock you are gonna have to modify it to work but can be done. I wouldn’t be scared to buy a good used carb if you are looking to save the money, rebuild kits for them are cheap and good as new when rebuilt. The tps kit you buy works just as well with the older models carbs also
