I dont need a carb so i dont have to worry about that. :s6:
Thanks for the advice there old67, I just need to find out what i'm doing at the moment. I've got a 302 sitting in the backyard so i was thinking of restoring that one. That way the truck wont be off the road for long. The trucks still drivable around town but its not good on the highway. Which is not good when i have to travel.

yea if you have a second motor to have machined and then just swap parts and drop it in you should be able to do the conversion in a long weekend.
what would you like to see get done at this point.

Good deal man! "a spare to play with" YAaa!!!

where do you want to start?

I'd go with what 351w is saying about "bag and tag" do it on everything! "even the stuff that you think, you would never missplace.
And you found a machine shop yet?
there is usally a waiting period? around here "just gotto get in-line"

And 351w...sorry about the edelbrock thang! "sometimes I forget where.....I'm at" I ment "Holley" hahhahahhaaaahaa
and I'd sit back and weigh everything 2. "good way to be"
???? on the lick & stick? you look'n 4 a pop-up type or a aluminum and tin?<<< edit "hahahhahhahahaaa" explain down at the bottom!!!


89F150; is this "other in the back yard" complete? -- heads ,covers, brackets, "the whole sha-bang?......"what'ya got?"

Did i miss something? Whats this about bag and tag?

The other one in the backyard needs to be rebuilt as well. So no matter which motor i go, its a rebuild. At the moment im just going to drive it like ive stolen it. But it feels alot faster all the time, i think im getting quicker and better at gear changes.
The worst part about it is that it feels so good around town, i can race the shit out of it but i when i get out of town, around 80 in 3rd gear and change into fourth thats when i have trouble. It feels real sluggish. I take fourth up to 100 kph and chagne into fifth and a short while later, thats when she'll start knocking away. I have also found out recently that she'll start knocking at WOT in 3rd, 4th and 5th.

I think ive stolen the "what ya doing thread". Sorry Old67, i should have started my own thread about my engine troubles.
Old67: So did you work out the Photoshop thing you had going on. Got any images to show us.
also have you worked out a good signature yet?

351: Do you know what your going to do with your truck? Going to keep it?

old 67 worker'

OK -OK- he said, "label with tape" ,and I was saying "bag & tag!" ( bolts ,clips, ca-nuder valves, washers, screws, "the like", put it all in little bags w/names on it" seems stupid" but I promise you won't have to run to the store and buy some "odd" size nut, bolt or clip !) know what I mean?

And this post is for, exactaly this! ( not to worry) "I was talking about bad stuff happening to "are" trucks. "

And Yes, "I get it" . "Another motor to rebuild". "is it complete?" "parts wise?"
??????can you totally rebuild the one you have???(in the back yard)??? with out your truck ever being down? ?????? ( have it ready to drop in!!--* complete *--) > ? <
lets get started on the one in the back yard!
"have you checked prices yet? for parts ? What parts ? what do you want to do???????????? is this your only ride?
and "photo shop sucks!!" I got pissed off and quit- screw it!! ?




And 351w is thinking .

old 67 worker'

351w - I'm such a dumb az some time! "lick & stick"!
Ya....... we used to have thoese around here! "when we had stickers"
........... " I'm blaming the meds!"
on a side note; I sound a little hostile! "don't mean too"

Weather update for okie-ville; just started snowing last night! now the temp says; 36 degrees and the wind is blowing like crazy !

Yeah the other motor is complete. THats what i was thinking of doing. Restoring that motor and just doing an engine swap. I have another car i use for driving as well but i use the truck for work so it can't be down for long. I havn't started looking yet. I will have a look possibly this weekend so i'll let you know .

351w

yaa, make sure you get them con-uder valves marked so you dont loose one or try to put one in upside down !!!
i guess i'll have to look around for some good parts for ya cause i get the impression that you are a lazy arse that sleeps most of the day away. bwaahaha

me go have a look around right now and check back shortly !
i'm gunna drive my truck till the coppers take it away from me !

here is a good place to start with this part number, FEM-MHP174-000 at summitracing.
or how about this little ripper.

Get 350 horses from your 5.0L.

Holley's SysteMAX II engine system upgrades feature everything you need to help your 5.0L perform like a 460. Designed for 1986-93 5.0L H.O. EFI, the SysteMAX II systems combine ideally matched engine components that work together to give you maximum power and performance. You get an aluminum upper/lower intake manifold and fully assembled 61cc aluminum cylinder heads that are port matched for optimum airflow. Plus, you get a specially designed roller camshaft, hardened pushrods, and a double roller timing chain and gear set for precise timing.

bwaaahaaha i'm just teasin ya dont get all excited because you cant use that type of stuff and stay emissions legal.
