Title: New guy ( to this site anyway)
Post by: oldredtruck on April 08, 2009, 09:40:05 am
 Hi all - my name is Tim -
 I have been a regular on the other forum at FSC for many years...
after a ton of money and time - I almost have my 85 done and back on the road...
I can dish out info/parts lists/vendors if anyone needs something since I have fresh receipts and my memory at 41 is still pretty good.
The truck has a GM Performance parts RAMJET 350 - and going from carbureted to port EFI is a money involved trip...but I found all parts and even the harness for the dual fuel pumps/sending units in tank( GM discontinued them in 2004) - Street and performance  - www.hotrodlane.cc
anyhow - I have tons of pics of everything done - step by step...interior/paint/body - suspension...the whole enchilada...
I am positive I will get way more info from this forum than anywhere else... I see alot of familiar names on here from the other site...
later!

Nice RAMJET.  I seriously considered that one for my truck, but was scared away by cost and some reliability concerns expressed by owners at the time.  I later discovered that GMPP used a different ECM for the earlier Ramjets and that is what was causing the problems.
