I got the motor to run for about 30 second poorly though and the wireing was a mess. Then i found out that the oil was getting water in it so i decided just to pull the motor, hauled it to my dads and got it out

yea, turbo 350 i don't know who did the conversion but i have a few things to check in rearend area some of the work i think i will double check :lol: but the shifter thats in it is just a cheap-o and it sucks i think a lokar will be far superior to that thing the truck was a striaght six and three on the tree factory (nothing wrong with that i like em) but its been a 350/350 combo for as long as i have known the truck and i here ya on the rain there is a chance all next week, i need a garage it suck working on the dirt:( but i'm glad i'm able to work;)
