88 Silverado 4X4

[crazycart]

Just got this truck a couple days ago....88' Silverado 350 4X4 4 speed....sold my Daytona for a grand and bought this for 700. Tore the engine down to freshen up the heads and replace gaskets. Lapped each valve by hand and replaced every valve seal. Painted a bunch of crap too...should be back together by tomorrow.

POOF!

Wow man. Wish I could come across a steal like that.

 

[crazycart]

Yeah it was a good deal considering the box is worth what i paid for it Its got a new exhaust, clutch, clutch line, brake lines, and the interior is mint.

 

[crazycart]

Got it back together...runs great. Only put 100$ into it.

Ditch the toilet bowl injection, needs a 4bbl and headers!

 

[crazycart]

I would but the mileage is bad enough as it is :biggrin5:

Headers will come if i decide to keep it. Cold air intake also.

 

[That One Guy]

If you dont... I WANT IT!!!

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Put a T-56 in it, double overdrive.

 

[crazycart]

Out in the mud...CV joint broke...2 wheel drive now.....

 

[freakboy]

strait axle time?

 

[crazycart]

Nah, ill keep my IFS

 

[That One Guy]

It'd kinda be a waste of money to throw an axle under that.

 

[crazycart]

The only piston that i cleaned was #1. Used a wire wheel on the drill. The rest of the pistons were THAT clean. The particles wont go past the rings as long as you don't turn it over. Used a vacuum and carb cleaner to rinse. This engine has been running clean its whole life.

 

[crazycart]

The 2 middle cylinders had a blown head gasket between them (which is why i tore it apart), but that still doesn't explain the cleanliness of the other side.

Are you going to drop a little bit to fix the 4x4? On the side of ignition I installed a whole new MSD ignition, distributor, lines, etc I got from summit, it helped my 5.9 a lot which had a bad wire.

tbi is great dont let anybody tell ya otherwise

 

[crazycart]

Yep 75$ for new axle (mechanics cost) gettin it this week. Truck has a lot of mid-top end power.....smokes the tires good

 

[crazycart]

Been short on cash, no axle yet, my boss died, but a friend bought the business so i keep my job. Gettin some powder coated headers pretty soon here. Tinted my tail lights for the hell of it
