The 83 gets tbi

[imoto344]

I mentioned doing an engine/tbi swap into my old truck and was asked for pics on the project. Well, here is the start. Its not gonna be quick. I'm working on this as time permits. Planning on spiffing up the engine inside and out. Theres a pic of the donor truck, i got $250 in aquiring it. And the seat is pristine! No tears, not broke down! I drove this thing 10 miles to the shop, 400 trans shifts good. 4x4 works. I am keeping the whole truck for parts. Jon

Good luck with your swap, thankfully there is some great TBI knowledge around here (not me though, I've been messing with mine for a month and it still won't run)

^ AMEN to it not working right. I still can't get mine working right. I'm thinking I'm just gonna go carbed. Much easier and just as reliable if you know what your doing
