I am finally getting time to work on mine, I just striped it down to start rust repair. I also discovered what was causing the skip/stumble mine had. At some point it bent the intake valve for cly #3, which cracked the head in the valve guild area. Hopefully at some point I will have a build thread going.
Hi Tony, good to hear from you. I miss the GMC k20 and have been looking since that one and haven't found another. Hope you do a build thread but understand if you don't since they do take time.

Its a coincidence but I'm also having engine issues due to the valve on one cylinder on my K20. Its on hold now until I figure out what to do. I can't decide what I want to do for the engine. I think its down to just buying the crate 350 for $1570, the crate with roller cam and vortec heads for around $2k, and sometimes I'm tempted to do a mid 90's TBI swap. Too many options!
