93 Chevy V-6 to V8 swap spark knock
Its been awhile since i have been on the site due to me being in Iraq for OIF V. A couple of years ago I swapped my 4.3L for a 5.7L TBI. The engine I built was bored .040 over, stock crank, rods, intake, heads. I installed a edelbrock performer cam. My compression ratio is 9.39:1. I have a spark knock while accelerating. I run 91 octane fuel, that makes it a little better but it wont go away. I have my timing set correctly. Do I need to use a proggramed chip? Someone please help!!!!

Are you running a stock 5.7 tune? You will defiantly need a tune to make it run right. Do you have your distributor set to 0 degrees?

Re: 93 Chevy V-6 to V8 swap spark knock
Are the knock sensors for the 4.3 and 5.7 the same? If not, that could be your issue.
Have you vefified your fuel pressure?

Thats what I was thinking. You need a V8 memcal, injectors, and knock sensors to start. Then get a tune.
