Truck Engine Conversion

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

I don't think this is were Matt wanted this thread to go.

Yeah........ sorry, Matt.

You can change the intake manifold and install a carburetor - plus you can probably use an OEM "stand-alone" HEI distributor or many of the other aftermarket ignition systems.

Most of it depends on the amount of money you have to spend.

There -- back on topic. :thumbs:

Thanks for all the help guys. I don't mind this thread going off topic since my questions are already answered. It looks like the guy giving me the free truck is going to give it to his nephew instead but nothing is set in stone yet.

I would rather have an already carbureted engine/truck anyways so I can begin my experiments sooner rather than wasting time converting the motor and making sure it works.

Can we get a hint? That might make it worse actually.

Did you get the PM I sent?
