First of all I'd like to say that this forum has got me motivated to actually get some work done to my truck. I see some of the pics and read about some of the projects and it gets me fired up. I'm not doing anything too crazy to my truck, just basic maint. and repairs and hopefully a paint job this summer (along with a new front clip!). Anyway on to the topic of this thread:
I'm looking at buying another V-6 to replace mine when it eventually goes. I'm currently running a 2.8 with fuel injection (250,000 km) and the used engine I'm looking at is a 2.8 with a carburetor (33,000 km).
Can I swap the carb for the injector or do I need to swap the whole intake? And do I need to do anything with the fuel pump? The parts truck also comes with a 4 speed 700r tranny with an over drive ( I think) which will require some work to get it up and running, any idea on the resale value of the tranny as it sits (not working). Any input would be very helpful.
I'm also looking at buying an '89 S15 Sierra Classic. The 4.3 is shot but the rest of the truck is in good shape, immac. interior and minor surface rust. Possible future 'toy'.
Again, this is a great site for S10 info! Thanks, thanks, thanks!
