This is my good news outta sad new. My dad closed down his business sad new. I got this free truck outta that situation, good news. Small problem though....motor was shot. Solid body and frame so lots to work with.

 

Got the motor pulled and sent out to be remaned by Austin Jordan Engines. Just got it back its a beauty 5.7 350 Vortec

 

Cleaned up the engine compartment and undercoated the frame and underbody. I want this truck to last.

 

Gettin the parts and accessories cleaned and painted and ready for assembly

 

This is really my first time doing a job this big. I have lots of friends with experience I can call in a pinch, but I think the best way to learn is dive in. So any advise or pointers I can get will diff help. Ive heard the factory fuel injectors are junk should I replace? Any advise about break in period would be much apreciated. What about setting the timing? How do I prime the oil system? Thanks for reading

 

I would put in the upgraded fuel injection spider,take the distrutor out and prime the oil by using an electric drill and a special shaft that hooks into the oil pump drive shaft
