Hey Iraters...new to the site.
Figure I would post some stuff up. 95 S10 TBI 4.3 2wd general beater truck. Bought it a little over a year ago. Shortly after it overheated and something went poof. Being that my interest in fixing a 4.3 is almost zero I decided it needed to go to Stage 1.
Stage 1 V8 power....more power agh agh agh
Found a TBI 5.7 with a quarter million miles on it for $500. Swapped that in, recalibrated the PROM, pushed the radiator under the support, and fab'd up an exhaust. Potentially the easiest swap on planet Earth.
So now it drives like should have from the factory. Even has functioning AC. Well till the pancake garbage blew a seal.
On to Stage 2...
