    Early 4.3 upgrade?

    No idea. Engine is 1979 with a midrise tbi intake. Will not accept a stock cable for a 92, have to use the “universal fit” junk. That truck is going Qjet/Th350, currently classified as a “farm special”, not even remotely street legal. But will be… For the 85 C10, stick with 87+ as a transmission...

    Qjet to 2bbl swap?

    Just put a Qjet back on, throttle everything is incompatible. Holley is going on the 318/727 combo it was initially purchased for. I do have a GM 2bbl I could try, but it is governed.

    Early 4.3 upgrade?

    As long as it stays 4.3 and carbed. Not a mpg issue, the truck is mainly cruise nights toy and back up vehicle. I love the WTF factor when I pop the hood… ;) 700r4? I have been turned against them by a 92 K1500 that eats them like a toddler eats cookies. But maybe would survive in a 2wd...

    Early 4.3 upgrade?

    And please don’t say LS swap it. I’d rather scrap it than run a computer controlled engine in it.

    Early 4.3 upgrade?

    The original issue 4.3 in my 85 swb is tired. Smokes like a 2 stroke tired. IF there is enough wall thickness left, going to rebuild it. RV cam? Retrofit roller cam? Thermostat temperature? Exhaust w/o egr or smog pump provisions? Already installed a non-ESC distributor (Jegs with 4 pin icm)...

    Qjet to 2bbl swap?

    The factory installed Qjet on my truck is at paperweight status. It basically sweats gas. Ordered the adapter to run a 2bbl on the stock high rise iron intake. Pulled the original issue 40 years old distributor yesterday. New distributor, plugs and wires going in today. Truck has a Th400...

    Rally wheel colors?

    Back when “Ralph” was still red over white, I ran red 15x6 rallies with caps and rings. When I redid the truck in Seafoam Green, painted the wheels black. And yes, with open 2.73 gears, the truck got stuuck in that dip.

    Old man constantly asked to drop his truck.Any stock height C10s left in the world??

    Only deviations from stock suspension are 4 corner load assist coil overs, and P235/75r15s instead of factory P205/75r15s. 2 -very- tired 6 cylinder 2wd swb 1/2 tons, 1949 Dodge and 1985 Chevy. I hate 2wd, but…

    Carb Adapter

    I’d honestly rather run a 500cfm Holley 2bbl on the 4.3 anyway.

    Carb Adapter

    So rebuild the core I have or get an adaptor plate for a modern carb, or order a Chinesium repop… Got it.

    Recommend Me a Reliable/Budget Serpentine Kit

    My 92 runs the block/heads from a 70s 250hp crate engine, with the stock 1992 serpentine system. Doing the same to the stock 4.3 in my 85, plus newer heads/intake.

    1987 Fresh Air Intake

    I need the same hose. 1992 aircleaner on a Qjet (direct fit) in an 85 C10 vith a factory 4.3L V6. The 92 aircleaner hose went to the inner fender.

    Carb Adapter

    So the AVS2 or 9895 would be a direct swap onto both the alloy oem spreadbore intake on my 70s 350 -AND- the high rise oem iron intake for my 85’s 4.3L V6? Asking because the Qjet I have needs to be rebuild and will not come apart. Could only get the lower plate off for a gasket replacement. Top...
