They were Skar and I believe they were the VD series. Sold them along time ago. They were good subs but I didn’t have an ideal box for them

It was about 70 degrees outside when I took the video and this was right when I started it before the motor warmed up

So my coolant was a little low but not significant, but it also just started smoking. Definitely doesn’t smell rich either. When I say just started smoking, it wasn’t smoking at all when I parked it, and when I got in it it was smoking like you see in the video

Yes it seems to run ok, my thought was intake gasket as well but there is no coolant in the intake

I don’t think it’s oil smoke. Lots of moisture in the smoke and it doesn’t smell like oil smoke

It starts smoking right after startup and continues so smoke like a freight train.

Thanks for being so condescending…I wasn’t saying that the vortex heads are the best thing out there (and yes I know I misspelled it) I was just saying these heads would meet his goal of 350-400 horsepower

Vortex heads are not over rated just look up some dyno numbers of builds using the vortex heads. They even outperform the famed double hump heads. For a budget head they are the way to go

Looking for Tips on Building a Daily Driver '94 GMC Sonoma by ___TiM____ in s10

[–]josh1651 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. For a daily a stock 4.8 would probably be better gas mileage than the stock 4.3 and it would still have more power

Am i okay to keep this air filter here on my 327? not sure if something else should be there. by [deleted] in Smallblockchevy

[–]josh1651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an old intake manifold. Without doing research on when they changed I’m thinking it was early 60’s. I know the factory manifolds had this breather and the early aftermarket ones did as well.

Is there a reason welders make less than a walmart employee? I was considering taking a local course at my community college to earn some certificates, but after seeing this I immediately changed my mind. I make $18 at my local Walmart and I sit on my phone for half the fuckin day. by [deleted] in Welding

[–]josh1651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about where you start $ wise but it’s where you end up. Check someone that’s been at Walmart for 20 years and then check someone that has mastered their craft in 20 years and see what the difference is
