newbie here
« on: April 20, 2010, 01:01:59 pm »
Hello all. I am the "proud" owner of a 1981 GMC C15 that I bought last May. The truck came w/the 305 & TH350 that I am soon to be pulling out and swapping in a 5.3L w/the fuel injection and a 4L??E tranny. Also plan to do all new wiring and interior and paint and a bunch of other goodies.
Well, I heard this was the place to mingle and pick some intelligent brains for any faq's. Nice to meet everyone.
BTW, my name "inovermyhead" is not really a reference to knowledge (ok, maybe a little) but more a reference to the lack of the mighty $$$
