Need some engine ideas....
Hey guys!!! It's been a little over a year since I've been on here, but I'm finally getting the fever to do something with my '82 SWB. I bought it with no motor and have really been contemplating dropping a 12V Cummins in it. But for now, I may go a more simple route and just put a gaser in it. I've thought about a 5.3L fuel injected motor. I'm just wanting something that runs good and smooth...no racing...just a great highway driver that gets some decent fuel mileage.
Not really sure what shape the tranny and rear is in, but I do know the truck was drivable when the engine was pulled (the guy couldn't pay for the motor, so it was pulled and he sold the truck.)
I know I'll get a whole slew of opinions, but shoot 'em to me!!
