So I'm thinking of rebuilding the old 3.d'oh this fall, and I'm just wondering what you guys think I should replace while I'm in there. Obviously water pump, and probably the oil pump as well, but what other things have you found that are worthwhile to do?

piston rings and mass air flow sensor add a bigger throttle body

Any recommendations of which throttle body to use?

I really don't want to get into that much work, as much as it may be worth it. If I was going to do it, I'd say, drop in an old chev 350 and get myself some better gas mileage.

SMG: I am going to do the whole top end on my 90 truck starting today as a matter of fact and I am doing.

1. pistons and rings
2. water pump
3. timing belt
3. valves
4. knock sensor and wire
5. one new head (maybeeee)

Thats just whats on the list right now.

Yeah, I just did the timing belt last fall when I did the HGs, but I did a haphazard job just to get er on the road again. So I'm looking at taking it apart again and doing it right while I have some holidays THIS fall.
