Im thinking of buying a couple Chevy vans a guy has for sale. I dont want all the emission controls, A/C or any of the additional stuff on the engines.
rent these out to travellers in the rockies and like to keep everything the same from van t van.
Can I strip these engines down to a short block and put quadra jet carbs on them?
I want to keep them simple and easy to work on. Carbs are within my knowledge range. Is there a computer on board that would stop these from running if I striped them down?
Thanks for any help!
