Re: Best cam for Vortec in a K2500

I get what I think is conflicting info. The '98 engine originally had an auto trans attached. When I swapped it, into the '93, I had the 93 flywheel resurfaced, installed a thrust bushin in the crank and installed all of it with a new clutch, throwout bearing and pressure plate for a 93 truck, since it still has the 93 NV4500 5 speed trans. it all seemed to work OK, and I never noticed any vibration or anything...When I got to the Autozone site and look up a flywheel for a 98 K2500 manual trans flywheel and a 93 K2500 manual trans flywheel, they are the same part #. When i go t O'Reilly's, I get two choices for each year, one of the two choices is the same part number for both, the other is not. The 98 listing mentions a NV3500, the 93 doesn't. They show to have both part numbers in stock, so I plan to call them to make sure they do and go take a look when they open. My brother is bringing the rebuilt short block and I am going to try and get it set in the truck while I have help.
