my stubborn self just wasted more time trying to find the lifter with the pushrod to put on a rocker i had here, I cant seem to land it, who knows if the lifter is still in the hole,...Im thinking its time to throw in the towel on this one, its been annoying me because ive been thinking it might be something simple where I wouldnt be tearing into the motor which would end up as a total rebuild, and i have/had a thought I might keep the truck more stock with the 350, Ive had a few smallblock quadrajet vehicles in the past and have good memories along with bad. The amount of time Ive put into chasing this down I couldve had it yanked and been well along with detailing the engine bay for the 5.3., which is going to make it a better truck, why am I fighting to preserve my 9 mpg motor...
I think its time to switch over to the "LS swap" threads. Thanks for all your help.
