Re: New project, looking for some info!













That last one is tearing down to change out the ignition cylinder for the new one I bought, which was a success.

I'm looking for some info on the engine specifically. If anyone has any experiences with 79 K5's with 350's I'd love to hear about it. Between casting numbers, part numbers, overhaul kits, upgrades, etc. I want to build the engine right.

The K5 has the standard emissions RPO code. No smog pump or air injection, just an EGR and a cat. This truck is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I had him talked down low and after seeing it I made a solid reasonable offer. Still got it for a steal in my opinion. Those tires don't even have dry rot, and they haven't moved in 7 years (according to him its been in the same spot since 2007, and judging by the ground erosion around the tires and the rat droppings under the hood I'm inclined to believe him.).
