    1979 K20 5.3 Swap

    You can also cut the flange off, weld a pipe on in such a way to avoid frame notching altogether

    1979 K20 5.3 Swap

    Absolutely not, they drop in and clear everything, even with the engine moved up and forward 1.5" in each axis.

    1979 K20 5.3 Swap

    It wasn't super hard to build mine, but as cheap as they sell stuff, I'd buy a log from them. Their forward facing headers are garbage.

    305 vs 350

    Usually, as they've said, the JDM engines are just pulled from cars they took off the road because emissions are too tight over there. So they pull them, part them, and ship containers of SR20DET's or whatever over to us.

    Which Transmission?

    Agreed, keep it simple, the TH350 is plenty durable for most.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Endless sanding and priming on the doors for me still, probably be doing that all week.

    New trucks are no longer trucks

    The new I6 Dmax is pretty tempting, they've gotten 1/2 tow ratings to the point where I can consider owning one now.

    Aftermarket trans crossmembers

    I also have the Tejas one, not installed yet, but I see no reason it wouldn't work for literally any combo nearly.

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    My father in law has a set of AMP brands on his F-250, they get down before my mother in law has the door fully open. I just trip over the stupid things lol.

    1979 K20 5.3 Swap

    They can be done quite economically, the trap most people fall into is they are coming from Gen 1 engines that are much older and were made to less exacting standards to begin with, so they start down the "while you're at it" rabbit hole. While you're at it, may as well regasket it, and...

    I'm about to head home and pull the doors for paint.

    305 vs 350

    Locally to me, it's 1.45 a gallon, and I can run 15psi without a single care on it.

    Boost juice. That's not a bad price, the Goodwrench 350 is up to like 1800 plus shipping nowadays.

    dana 44 or 60 for my crewcab

    A 38 is about the threshold where thing's start breaking with power or wheeling. If you have easy access to a 60, I'd use it. But for a driver, hunting, fishing truck that's not going to see a front locker and serious, high traction wheeling, I'd say a 44 is fine.

    It's not a question really, go with the largest engine you can afford.

    1979 K20 5.3 Swap

    Tables add and subtract fuel and timing based on ECT. Using a 1998 Camaro coollant temp sender is the fix, it has an electric output for a gauge, and one for the ECM.

    They have some kind of goo on them from the factory, congratulations man.

    52in to 56in spring swap

    I would imagine the bearing is a different diameter for the rotor on the spindle.

    Yes.

    TBI requirements for engine upgrade

    I believe a simple remapping will be sufficient, without an wideband and logging, there's no telling. Unfortunately, the TBI systems are pretty primitive.
