    LB7 Swap

    Slow. I'm still tearing down the donor truck. I've decided that I'm going to shorten the 03 frame and put my 83 body on it. I've just got too many irons on the fire right now to spend much time with it unfortunately.

    Need help with sluggish 94 k1500

    Absolutely! And aside from the TPS, everything else was in need of replacing anyway, so really no money wasted. It's going to be a great truck for only having 1500 invested. Thanks.

    Need help with sluggish 94 k1500

    Base timing was 10 degrees retarded. Feel pretty dumb for not checking it right off the bat. But bought the truck off original owner, who was not the type of guy to ever mess with the timing.

Runs very smooth, has not missed once. But as the motor gets up to operating temp, it gets very sluggish at low RPMs. We replaced...

    Thanks for the input Mark. I'll write down your considerations in my notes. I'm a decent welder, but by no means an expert. My brother on the other hand is a welder by trade and also an instructor. So luckily I have him to call over when I need a hand. But I still like the idea of finding...

    LB7 Swap

    I apologize ahead of time for anything dumb I might say or do. I'm a complete noob. With that said: Its time to resurrect my 1983 K20. It was my first truck. Bought it when I was 15(I'm now 30). I've already got all new body panels for it. I was just going to freshen up the 355 that's in it and...
