meatpimp posted:Another GMT800 checking in here -- '05 Escalade. I had a 4L65E scare 2 years ago, saw flaring during shifting of 2-3 and my transmission guy thought the 3-4 clutch pack was gone. Car had about 105k miles at the time. Transmission guy tried changing solenoids and that worked great. 2 years later it's still going. i dont know the GMT800 in particular, but in most cars the high speed bypasses the resistor entirely and just connects 12V to the motor

22 Eargesplitten posted:I looked it up on Wikipedia and it said it started production in 1954, I guess started production in '54 for the '55 model year? ah, yeah that's probably likely it is pretty impressive that the first gen sbc lasted from 1955 until... 2003? in the vans? 1999 most places. other than the oil filter showing up in iirc '57 and the rod journal size changing in the late 60s (67?) and then the roller stuff in the 80s (cars) and 90s (trucks), they were pretty similar and shared parts through the whole run. i love that you could plunk late model speed parts onto a first-year motor and it would probably work

IOwnCalculus posted:It was the last change made to the block and I think it only exists on the final versions of the Vortec like the L31. I'm pretty sure they're still making GBS threads out Goodwrench crate SBC castings that still have the fuel pump provision anyway. yeah and even the L31 still has the mounting boss, it just doesnt have the pushrod hole drilled. you can drill it out and use it if you want (or get an 80s roller block and put all the L31 stuff on it and have the best of both worlds like i did)

Mr-Spain posted:I love this video about the original SBC thats pretty cool. i didnt know about the valve covers or the motor mounts. i wonder if all that changed in 57 with the addition of the oil filter, or if they trickled in separately
