    Red - 84 K20 update

    Pics of the new set up and spec card for the FST carb, since their site doesn't show specs. Installed a head unit and speakers while I was unemployed Jake

    Red - 84 K20 update

    Update: Weiand intake and FST carb installed. due to my ineptitude to drop a distributor in led to fighting an off idle stumble/die all of yesterday. Reset the carb (mostly) and the truck is running much better. The new intake (with a 2" 4 hole spacer) is a huge improvement over the old school...

    We always burned the old bushing out with a torch, just have an extinguisher on hand.

    Red - 84 K20 update

    The truck needed a new carb and intake due to wear and tear. The Brawler 670 carb has a vac leak at the secondary shaft, and the 25+ year old Performer intake has stripped carb threads. The replacement parts, Weiand 8150 intake and FST RST+ 650 carb, were delivered today, and will be installed...

    Red - 84 K20 update

    Hi everyone. It's been awhile since I posted, as I have not done much to my farm truck besides drive him on the weekends. Background on the truck; He was a two owner truck that was used on two different farms in NE Ga with 74K originals miles, and a lot of Ga red clay in every crevice. He has...

    Replacing exhaust manifold with headers. But which ones??

    I went with Flowtech headers on my K20. Fit was decent, but I did need to dent a few tubes to make plug access easier. Jake

    1983 K20 350 SBC Upgrade Opinions

    Oh yeah, the glasspacks are nice, a bit louder than I was expecting for being 23"s, and yup, Summit is the blackhole currently sucking up my fun money. Parts go on next weekend. Jake

    1983 K20 350 SBC Upgrade Opinions

    Nice rig and pup! I'm in a similar situation with my 84 K20. I ordered a set of summit 165cc iron heads and Lunati Barebones 10120102LK cam kit to go with the current Elderbrock RPM intake, Brawler 670 carbm (on 1" open spacer), and Flowtech long tube headers exiting into 2.5" duals with 23"...

    Inexpensive 14x3" air filter

    Nope I guess I need to state this is an inexpensive filter for the folks running an aftermarket 14"air cleaner on their gasser engines. Jake

    Inexpensive 14x3" air filter

    The Purolator A63180 filter, meant for 6.2 diesel, measures 14x3, comes with a nylon prefilter, and is usually $8. Jake

    FSJ front springs...

    I may have a line on J truck springs, and I'll update everyone on the fitment, amount of lift (if any), and the ride compared to stock. Jake

    FSJ front springs...

    The FSJ front springs are the same eye to eye length as Square body front springs. The only difference is the locator pin is one inch forward. I have looked into the B52 kit, but it's overkill for my truck. Jake

    FSJ front springs...

    So, I'm looking to improve the ride on my stock 84 K20, and slightly lift the truck as well, and was looking at wagoneer springs for the front. FSJ (76 and newer) front springs: 47" eye to eye (22.5/24.5.. moves the front axle 1" forward) Have 3, 5, 6, or 7 leaves Are arched for spring...
