What are you putting the 351M in ?  Had one in a 77-1/2 F-250 4 wheel drive. Ran a Crane Econopower cam with adjustable push rods and the stock 2 BBL Motorcraft carb with some wicked advance on the distributor. With 4.10 gearing and 36 in Grad Prix tires that lightweight surprised lots of folks.
Many say they are junk but it is a 351 with the option of the 400 crank, larger mains, and a extra inch in stroke. So naturally aspirated 600hp+ and then little 250 shot. In a super light weight big tire 1965 shelby cobra roadster. Weight 2300ish. Power to weight it is low 9 second even high 8 but short wheel base and limited traction. Also tracks kick them out. So fun street car.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

I wish. Just a 352. 

I've built some fairly wicked 352's. Better motor than it gets credit for.

I’m keeping it stock for now. It has been rebuilt already some years ago. Super clean inside the motor though. It’s also a 4 door, but should make a great family cruiser. f0b08f293310131fad88c89d3d33cd58.jpg

Equals 1FunCobra !!  Enjoy !

 

The truck pulled great up to around 3500-4000 RPMs  but with the profile of a brick and the restriction in air flow caused by the Motorcraft 2 BBL, stock air cleaner, and functioning EGR valve pushing the pedal much further had limited returns. It was fun in the mud !

Ok, so I haven't actually done this yet but I figured I'd update since it's been a while since I was around.

 

Updates made recently

Purchased bushwacker fender flares and had them line-xed. I do not like the fender flare look, but with the BDS lift and wheels being slightly more offset than stock, in addition with the additional 1.5" from the knuckle I got flagged and didn't pass inspection in NH. I planned to do the fender flares but I'm honestly unsure how I like them. I'm going back and forth. It was installed in a non-permanent manner, meaning I didn't drill additional holes, so I should be able to remove if I hate them and go find a more lax inspection station.

 

Also upgraded to black bolts on my method NV wheels. The zinc that comes with the wheels started to rust and I wanted to black them out anyway. I tried to paint the zinc ones I had, but after a fair amount of time messing around with cleaning the rust and zinc off and losing two due to wind (attached to a piece of cardboard that got picked up) I gave up and bought the powdercoated ones from Method. Plus side they should last longer since they are powdercoated.

 

Upgrades coming in soon!

Just purchased some slotted coated rotors and EBC green stuff brake pads. Assuming this weekend is another weekend that is too hot to hunt I'll be installing and taking a few photos of how she looks now.

 

Also looking at picking up a bull bar and some lights for the fall/winter shooting times. I need to get my full plan in place for doing the aux switches and getting everything mostly factory. I want to install some IR lights and a kill switch for the exterior/interior lights for while driving off road under NVGs. Maybe @pgamboa can give me some idea at how to make that happen since he is such a wiz with the electronics :)

Have you seen the Rough Country flares? I think they will be what you are looking for, could be wrong, who knows? I have the smooth style on my truck, no drilling required, no holes in my truck.

 

IR lights, just mount them as normal, you can also get a remote search light like I have, that has a remote control. It has a 12 volt cigarette lighter plug, or hardwire of you like. I can't remember if it is just shy of 360°, or just over. Or also swivels up and down. It has a suction cup mount, or a base with magnets on the bottom, that locks the unit in. It has a push button release so you can leave that bar mounted, and remove the light when not in use. I tested it with the base at highest speeds with no problems at all.

I like your flares, with the amount I just spent on them I'm gonna leave what I how, for now at least. Great looking truck btw.

 

I'm not sure I follow the IR lights thing.

Thanks I didn’t know they now have a powder coated option. Actually I shouldn’t thank you cause now I’m going to spend more money I don’t really need to... ?

What running boards are those?  They look great from this angle.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
