Time to start on
PHASE 2
A friend has good running 350 that he is willing to swap us for some work on his 4wd. So since this is a budget build kind of project, gonna go that route instead of a crate 383 for now. This "new" motor is out of a 91 1ton & TBI, but plan on just getting alum intake & carb instead of the hassle with sensors & such. My current 350 has gotten so weak & occasionally only wants to hit on 6 or 7 cylinders, in addition to a qt of oil every tank of gas. But then again it has been doing this for 6yrs, is still running & never left me stranded on the side of the road
First things first - wiring - my favorite thing (for real)! When got this Blazer I was surprised it hadn't burnt to the ground driving it home. After replacing several wires, splicing & lots of elec tape it was no longer scary, but still a hacked up mess; major pet peeve. Installed an American Autowire Classic Update harness in a '67 Chevelle a few years ago & worked great. So got me the Builder 19 version yesterday...can't wait to get started!!!
