so, i have been in need of a truck for a while now. found this super mint 1990 chevy silverado with a rod knock for $300. body is almost 100% dent free it is 100% rust free and the interior gets a 9/10 for its age. boost will be happening soon and expect a build thread when it does happen

Wow, hell of a find.
-
booooooooooooooo 2wdr. >:(
-
it ran really nice too other than the rod knock. the battery was done when i went to look at the truck and we had no way to jump it off. i figured it was well worth $300 even if it didnt run at all so i bought it. got it home and put a battery in it, fired up and ran great. took a prybar to all of the steering parts and everything seems tight too. i should be able to toss this 350 in and be on the road
i really have no need for 4wd. i am in flat as hell FL. the only off roading there is to do is plowing though the mud. 4wd is just something else to break. it has a bed and can tow a trailer, thats my needs
-
How much for the distributor?
-
Nice find sir
-
i need the distributor for the 350 thats going in
-
damd if those tires came with it they look worth the $300 themselves
-
The tires have about 50% tread left, but the sides are chewed up by rubbing behind the fenders. The guy I bought it from cut out whatever was rubbing so I guess they are fine now.

watercooled manifolds good for turbo, bakalah bakalah

i really need to dig up a picture of those...

I know boats have watercooled manifolds, is that what you are talking about?

replace fuel pump ASAP.

replace fuel pump ASAP.
And change fuel filters as often as you can (paper elements inside them clog with just a little moisture in the fuel) :?:
Also look at the wiring to the fuel pump you will see corroded connectors and it will give you headaches if not addressed. :yes:
Also if you have a metal side saddle fuel tank check for major rust from road salt/sand trapped between the cover and the tank and replace with new plastic one. :?:
You can use the larger injectors from a 454 TB for more fuel (2x 85lbs.) ;D
Or switch to a multiport adapters setup from Edelbrock, TurboCity or other vendors out there and just switch PROMS in your stock ecu. :yes:
-
I am considering doing a multi-port swap. The wiring should be easy since all of the GM stuff is batch fire if I remember correctly.
Still trying to decide on how I'm going to run this 350 right off the bat. The ecu has a chip for a 305 right now and I'm just trying to get it running as cheap as possible and then upgrade later. I am considering trying to tune it if possible, but I might just try to find a 350 chip. So far my research says I just need an adaptor and I can use my ostrich to tune and then burn a chip.
