I doubt it's that simple. a carb is a carb is a carb. as long as it is the proper size and the linkages can be hooked up, it'll work fine. my suggestion is the do the engine swap first, then worry about changing carbs. too many changes all at once can compound troubles and make it even harder to diagnose any issues. keep in mind that the bolt patterns between carbs are different and an adapter plate may be necessary.

in theory you could use a small 4barrel, but a 3.4 engine isn't huge. it's just a tad bigger than the 2.8. a quality 2 barrel will work great with it. :thumbsup: a carb that's too big is just as bad as a carb that's too small.

how can it eat your trans if you're retaining the carb? the hp numbers will be close to stock.

be prepared that the bolts like to seize up in the bushings if you live in a rust-prone area. if they don't come out easy, I suggest just cutting them off and buying new rather than struggling too much with 'em. :thumbsup:

yeah, whether it's new or used, the 2.8 is a junk motor. the 3.4 is an updated and upgraded version. better in every way. :thumbsup:

leaf spring bolts are identical to lower control arm bolts so you can grab some from a junkyard if they have cherokees. :D

I imagine the cost will reflect the trip. LA to UT has a few mountains in the way. the Camaro's trip is about 750 miles and costing us all-in less than 700 (which is about what it would cost me in diesel and trailer rental to fetch the car myself). with some negotiating and patience II bet I could have gotten it shipped for around 600 all-in, but beating winter was more important to us than saving a few bucks.

not in southeast michigan at the moment. :D the western and northern areas have some.

bugs I can deal with. :D I was worried about the road salt. But the weather is perfectly clear the whole way down. :banana: she should arrive in GA tomorrow.

howl? whine? my boggers threaten to shake the truck apart above 20 mph. and I'm not kidding. It's worse than the worst washboard road I've ever been on. but I got them used and they are pretty beat up. maybe new ones aren't so bad. :thumbsup:

she's on her way. :D

I agree. except that it's not a return line, it's the emergency bypass line. :thumbsup:

supposedly this is a model pd4501-771. couldn't find a pic that had that number in it, but used it anyways because I'd love to turn one into an RV. :D

damn straight! :D

is the pedal firm with the truck off?

no arguments there. :D

:bowdown:

hint: note the red stripe on the rims

only thing wrong is I didn't think of that. :doh: I will pass that on!

neat! someone give me 600 bucks :D actually, I think I'd rather make my own.

as soon as I'm settled we need to have a southern meet-n-greet. :yes:

unfortunately if this happens soon, you'll be meeting my brother-in-law. I'm in Michigan again. :( won't be back for a week or so. honestly I've got no clue as to the immediacy of this need. thanks guys, I'll pass the offers on to him. and Jim, I'm still trying to find a way to take you up on that offer. :D
