Man,  thanks for all the feedback.  You guys are great.  I'll keep you all posted as things develop.  I'm gonna pull the pistons tonight.  I got the gasket set and piston rings coming.   I have to replace an intake and exhaust valve for the machine shop to finish the head work.  Erik got the right idea about what I'm gonna try to do.  I just want to get the truck up and running at the lowest cost for now.  I'm hoping to just replace the rings on all the pistons, and slap the head back on.  If it doesn't work, then I'm gonna go right into an EFI swap.  I'm not "knocking" the 20r.  It's a great engine.  It just looks like my 20r has been rebuilt a few times by the PO's.  I'm ready for something that has a little more pep and more importantly something that I had my hand in the whole way, so there's no one to blame when something goes wrong.
