so maybe not the proper way to do it. but i have 2 pistons with broken skirts on my wee-oh-five. can i just replace those pistons with the engine still in the truck, or do i need to pull it? it just changes where i have to do the work because i don't have an engine stand or a picker.
can i still drive the truck as is? i have no idea how long the pistons have been broke anyway. i just want to keep the engine running while i try to source a new powerplant.
i suppose i could buy a rebuild kit and a cam to get a little more out of the wee-h-five too. but if i am going to rebuid anything it might as well be a 350 that is currently in good running order
and this would be a good excuse to find a new engine, and i haven't checked yards yet, but up here it seems like finding a 350 is not that easy or they want way too much money. and not sure i really want to dump 2500+ into a GM 350/290hp for this truck because i don't plan to fix the body.
sorry i'm rambling.....
