i have an 2000 5.3 and put 700r4 behide it for now till i get enough to get th350-400,but anyways which side of the block is missing a bolt whole? i was think its the driver side since the passenager side has the dipstick tube on it and the go thew tube bracket.....

 

i found thats its the passager side thats missing the bolt,but about the dipstick,where do i bolt it to? bolted to the head?

 

The trans dipstick goes to the bellhousing stud on the top/mid right...it's a stud with a 15mm hex on it, and a threaded part that accepts a 13mm nut...

 

Here ya go brother, this thread should have all of the info that you need

lol thanks but i have my tranny in but5.3 to 700r4 the bolt for the dipstick i dont know where to put it cuz the the whole where it soppost to go you can use it...could i just bolt it to the head?

 

Ohhh, I hear ya, duh, 700R4, different bellhousing. I'm trying to remember where it bolted to on my mom's own Camaro...I'm guessing that the best bet would be to run a 700R4 dipstick and tube, if it will clear the firewall on the vehicle that the 700 is going in to. If there's a spot to bolt it to the head, that allows the tube to seat properly, not leak, and allow the dipstick to be accurate, then I'd say go for it.

 

i try it tomorrow after work it raining right now...but thanks again

 

im doing this to a 91 silverado,the red n black in profile....i took the stupid 22''s off n some other stuff...give the almost brand new 350 to my dad for his 85...and now it has a carb 5.3

 

I'm assuming that the original 350 had a threaded hole that the 5.3 doesn't? Any chance of drilling and tapping a hole into the 5.3 block safely?

 

it might ..but i dont wana chance the block...if i remember right there an bolt whole right next to it on the head if i can get to flip over to use it...
