Down grade? The only diff is i will get a little less mpg. But i will be getting more then i am now. It will have same power. And look bad ass.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

update.....Motor was dropped off at my work again today. Will look at it monday i hope. If it is the right engine this time i will have more pics.

Was wondering if i put l92 heads on it the only manifold they sell is for 3500-7500 rpm. I will have a 670 holly on it. Have not picked out a cam yet. I have a 1800-2000 rpm converter on it. was woundering how bad it will kill the low end if i use the big manifold compared to the 1500-6500 rpm one. But the low rpm manifold does not work with the l92 heads. I need help on this. thanks

And they managed to send the right one this time!!! But they sold the power steering pump off of it when it was waiting to be shipped. But they sent one to me in mail. The sails man guy said this is the hardest sale they have ever had.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

Got carb in mail. YAY... But now i have to get it to pass the state safty inspection. First place failed me for missing 1 of 8 lugnuts and if you floor truck with e brake on it moves a little. It has a 4;10 rear end and a 3.xx first gear and a 2000 stall converter in it. Not a hole lot is going to stop it. dand sure not a 30 year old drum brake... second place failed me for power steering drip. It leaks maybe 3 dropps a month. just want to get on with motor swap and not deal with small stuff.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

Just put in an order for my hole fuel system, 105 GPH fuel pump, 20 feet of Braided Stainless Steel, -6 AN hose, lots of fittings, fuel log with same hose and fittings, regulator, PSI gauge, hose holders, and last but not least a hose barb. Should look very nice all together.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

Was able to get some work done on engine. Removed intake, exhaust, accesory brackets, and looked under valve covers. All looks pretty good. Just dirty on out side. Next time i work on it i plan on painting it.
