Around October 2008:
Doug noticed the truck was getting weak on power and thought that it might be time to rebuild the engine once again since it had been almost 20 years ..lol
He and I started talking about the options we had with the engine.
1.Rebuild the factory 283 engine
2.Go with a GM 350 crate engine
3.then my idea to go with a GM Ram Jet 350 crate engine to gain the advantages of fuel injection.
I explained to Doug how going with the Ram Jet would be beneficial due to it would be modern just like his 2003 Chevy truck he owns also. Start right up in any weather condition, fuel economy, power, and less adjustments over the course of time.
March 2009:
So Doug was sold on the idea of the modern fuel injected engine conversion for his 67. I made my list of parts I needed and ordered everything to get us started. He brought the truck over to my little shop at my house.
Here are some pics of the truck right before we started.
