Do it! Xmas present to yourself, lol.

 

I'd love too but I think the new house will be top priority.well...new house to me.

 

I have heard of people using a fuel injected tank for carbs but have not done it myself. You need to reduce the pressure somehow and not sure how to do that.

Getting a new house is always exciting. It takes a year to get everything back to normal when you move. It always turned my world upside down. I would like to move one more time to out in the country and that is it. Living in town is for the birds.

 

I hear ya, congrats on the new place!!!

 

Thanks guys!!

 

Well ive been trying to utilize my shop for my build as much as possible before the move, i reinstalled my rearend with stock rear springs but used some longer shackles hoping to gain some lift for the time being until i can get allpros rear lift...end result...looks like crap compared to the front!!

On another note i finally set the 4.3 engine in last night and am working on where it will set in the engine bay. The engine mounts i have are slotted and adjustable but i called her quits and will tackle the issue later. Its getting closer and now atleast i can move it to the new place if i want to, ill be able to use my shop until i sell my house so i guess thats a plus.

This build gets more interesting by the minute,but im learning alot.Thought i already knew alot when it comes to the toyota truck scene but when you start throwing in the gm parts etc... its a whole different ballgame or atleast for me it is. Ill be posting up some pics of the engine in the truck and my saggy rearend to.

 

Hey Chris. I still got those coil springs I used for my Zuk mod. Should gain you 3" of lift in the rear with your stock springs. I ran them for almost 2 years until I got my All pro lift, they actually flexed and rode pretty nice! You can have them if you want them, just pm me and I'll ship them out!

 

I appreciate it Ed but I actually have some springs too.I never thought of utilizing them but maybe I will.I'm trying hard to get the kit soon from allpro.gonna eat some crab and prime rib tomorrow!!

 

Crab and prime rib sounds great. Celebrating the new house? Hope all is going well.

 

Dang been awhile since I've been on,finally got the new place,4acres and many outbuildings and the house is nice.moving is a pain but I will soon have all my stuff in my own area with no town folk complaining.oh yeah...I got a skidsteer.

 

Have you made any progress on this thing?

 

well guys, sorry i havent been in the scene lately, moved outta town and bought a new acreage and been fixing it up slowly.still looking for a good web provider because of my location.

sas build and 4.3 swap has been slow due to the new place. however im getting ready to put the transmission in with the aa bellhousing. ill be back in the scene soon!!

 

Updated pics back in the game

 

Replaced brake lines front to back with nicopp very good product,put the fuel tank in from a fuel injected donor still have to switch the pump for higher pressure and volume for the 4.3. Have to build a pressure line too I think braided stainless steel.
