Haven't seen many of these out of the new trucks for sale yet. Guess they are too new for the junkyards. Someone's gotta figure out how to hotrod these and write the book.

Unless you fabricated some manifolds and carburated it, and figured out how to make the electronic distributor work, you are going to have to buy the sensors and computer separately, in addition to fixing the problems with the block that you buy.

I could gain a few inches by putting an electric pusher fan in front of the radiator... and I've been looking for an excuse to chop off the bad steel in the toeboard and firewall...  Whoa, Hedgehog, get ahold of yourself. :p | | |
