Well I got it running today!!! I can't believe I was able to actually get it to turn over. I'm not a engine guy and even though it was just plug and play I didn't think I'd be able to get it going this easily. I'm having a problem though with the fuel system. Somewhere its not pumping the gas or I have a a vacume leak. If someone could tell help me trouble shoot this I'd really appreciate it. I have all of the wires connected that I can find except for the wire loom that connects to the transmission and case, its at the end of that loom and I'm guessing it goes to the o2 censor since I can't find it near the header. On my 87 RE its right next on the header.
Putting the engine in
i took the body lift off without a jack. I had gotrocksgirl knock the pucks out while I lifed the cab up by hand. I didn't think the body was that light. Anyone know how much the body's way on the 3rd gen pickups?
Here is my crossmember after I painted it,
Before,
After,
I decided to repaint it because I know how it wouldn't stay that nice after it hit the trail
