New project
Hey guys, here I go again. Acquired a new project. 1989 K3500 1 ton 4X4 with a 454 and a 400 trans. Many things were wrong with the engine but the frame, bed, and cab is rust free so a rebuild of the engine is a no brainer. First ? This is a smog engine with the air pump. That is gone along with the a/c compressor that was locked up. I know that there are after market acc. brackets but, is there someway to run a belt without these 2 components? Question 2. This is a tbi engine and though I would like to retain it I don't know how many if any of the sensors or onboard computer work. Can they be tested prior to installing the engine. Thanks for any information.PEACE, BUD
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
