carbbed of corse i dont think the ecm would like the 400 with all its mods if i used the tbi system. is it a big pain to switch all this crap off or what??

thing worrys me is if it runs hot all the time an he drives it might be a cracked block or head. and the owner might not know it and the price is $1200
ive seen pics of the trucks fixed up and they can look sharp
And the owner just might know for sure and lead you to believe it's just a gasket fix. Plan on the worst and you won't be dissappointed.
