Hey y'all, I'm new to the square body. Bought myself a 1973 K20. The previous owner has done a 383 stroker kit on it with several other after market parts I'm still gathering information on. He used the motor in a different platform as a drag racing motor.
Since I've gotten it, I've had the rear shocks and cab mount bushings replaced, a Hooker brand exhaust with flowmaster mufflers and a new front drive shaft installed. The heater core is being replaced and the transmission filter was replaced too. My buddy who's helping me do the work is testing the motor currently and saying the head gasket may be leaking some air.
We'll likely be pulling the motor to do a full once over on it and replace everything that needs replacing. With that being said, here is a list of other things I plan to do once the motor is pulled. More experienced people mind taking a look at letting me know your thoughts? Am I missing or overlooking something? Let me know what you think!
