wombat Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 as you can see, I am off to a slow start with a blown up motor, trashed rear end, and I haven't gotten all my rims switched yet... I am doing about 1 a day by hand..... My goal is to just build a capable beater with as little money in it as I can.... more pics to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 We'll, you've broken two of the worst parts of these trucks. Swap something better in and you're off to a good start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 I plan on swapping in a 4.3 and a dana 44 when time and money permits.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I plan on swapping in a 4.3 and a dana 44 when time and money permits.. You know a 4.3 will not bolt to your stock tranny right? The bolt patterns on the 4.3 and 2.8 are totally different. The easiest bolt in would be a 3.4 out of a Camaro or Fireturd. Same pattern as the 2.8 with more power to boot. Just something else for you to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
square Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I second the camaro 3.4L 91-94 you would keep all your outer junk-intake, water pump, alt and us the 3.4 exhaust manifold super easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 I know all about the 3.4 swap... but it is like pulling @$$ hairs out of a wild cat trying to find one around here.. 4.3's are a dime a dozen... AA makes motor mounts and bellhousings for the swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
