goal is to DD the GP, fix and sell the noma to build a 88-98 gm full size
 


Welcome always good to see other ohioans I am right by kings island. Nice rides but agree with you full size is the best.
 
so i got the gpt with a broken sc belt...runs fine, sluggish but it runs haha. any ideas what the hell could caus that belt to break?! all pullys spin freely

Could be lots of things. Could of just been an old belt, the tensioner not working properly, bent pulley, bad oil leak, ??? Just install a new one and see if it doesn't die prematurely. There is excellent help on this forum on how to do this. Heck, if I could follow the instructions successfully, ANYONE can.
 
i can throw a belt on, just curious to what else could cause one to break. and it very well could be old!

also this forum is great and has tons of info! i have a lot to learn haha..im really trying not to mod this car (has 176k miles) but its hard when seeing all these great rides
 
Welcome, you gotta get that belt on so you can hear that bad boy scream


you gotta love gm trucks heres mine 82 jimmy, im a little disapointed you traded you 95 for the sonoma, but im glad youre going back to full size
have you ever considered going to a carb?

i thought about it when i had the 305 but the 95 year was a weird one and coundnt find much info. if i kept it i prob would of done a cammed 350 and vortec heads. really want a 2dr 2wd hoe but dam they hard to find clean ones!

nice jimmy! were they solid axle from the factory or did you do the swap?
 
Welcome to the forum! I live not far from cinci. I'm about 20 mins from kings island haha. Its always nice to see more people from around my area on here.
 


solid from factory got 10bolts front and back, although my truck eats a couple diffs every year (rear) , i find it funny my 28 spline axles are holding strong,

and if i had to reccomend you should just go 400 small block, with vortec heads, just go bigger valves in the head, 2.05/1.6, wont cost more then stock size, get the preformance ones from sbi or qual-fast. when you choose this you can get a easy 450hp and over 400ft lbs from 2500-5500 with a smaller cam, you get power and reliabilty, i love doing a mild 400 instead of squeezing a 350, cost is relative
