350 w/ Holley 2bbl
TH350
NP203
As of right now, the mods are:
Headers
Dual exhaust (with H pipe)
Two glasspacks and turndowns
6" Rough Country lift
Autogage 8k RPM tach
Autogage oil pressure gauge
Autogage temp gauge
American Racing wheels (AR62 Outlaw II 15x7) with 32" Regul A/T tires
Two Hella lights up front
Issues:
A 2 barrel, really? (With which I'm somehow getting about 5mpg at the moment, might I add)
Fuel gauge stuck at Full (ground?)
No radio
Sticky windows
So really just little stuff for issues!
Has seats from an unknown newer vehicle, gonna see if I can get the seats from my '95 Sierra to fit with a bracket modification.
Not really sure what my plans are for now. First thing is removing the mud flaps, adding manual locking front hubs (all time 4WD ewww), possibly do the Mile Marker transfer case mod sometime as well. Fix the little stuff and then I'm thinking of swapping a 5.3/4L60E or build the carb'd 350 and get a pro built 700R4....all in time though.
On my way home I stopped at a gas station (of course) and started talking to a guy with an El Camino. He had an Edelbrock EPS 2701 intake sitting in the back so I asked him about it and he sold it to me for $20. Says it may have a crack in a coolant passage, I'm gonna look into it but I cleaned it up and it looks nice!

About 5 mpgs that's not right might need a tune up but something that's not lifted and running 38s should see at least 10. The 88-98 seats are about 6" shorter than ours so 3" smaller on each side you will notice it
Yeah I didn't think a two barrel would run rich enough for 5mpg. Do you think adjusting the idle screws could fix the rich issue? It idles at around 900-1000 which seems high for an old carb truck. Usually around 650 or 700 right?

Performabuilt 4L60E

or

Also, what do you guys think of these LED headlights? I think the red would look pretty mean at night!

Big rims, tiny tires, useless for anything practical.Trucks like Mudder96 here are still use full and practical. There's a big difference between lifted 4x4 and use able 4x4.

People with lifted trucks should be beaten regardless lol.

I'm not saying there isn't. What I'm saying is people lift up their trucks but don't take into account what it does behind them. No mud flaps equals rock and debris tossed much easier at vehicles behind them.
Be courtesy to the drivers behind you and put mud flaps on. If you don't like them get some transparent ones.

May want to keep the mud flaps for winter driving. The mud flaps seem to delay the formation of rust because they help deflect the salt bath on the winter roads.
If there was ever a weakness to the '73~80 GM trucks it was a total lack of rust proofing.
