I'm Awesome
Been a little bit since I've been all that active on here since the engine in my 96 finally gave up the ghost. Well, I've picked up another one to add to the fleet.
1994 GMC Sierra SLE. 5.7/4l60e
298k miles on original engine. Trans was rebuilt a few years before the truck was parked. Truck got parked for bad fuel mileage. Picked it up off of my dad. He moved a couple years back and when we went to move the truck, it was acting like it wasn't getting any fuel so we tried to bottle feed it, it backfired and burned up the injector harness. I've got new connectors and pigtails but haven't gotten around to installing them yet.
Plans for now are to get it running again with what it's got and swap my wheels and tires from my 96 onto it for now as I don't want to spend that much on a brand new set of tires again just yet.
Eventual plan is a big block, most likely a 454 and a non electronically controlled trans. Probably a 2 inch drop all the way around and coilovers. Interior is just about mint minus the dash as expected but I'll probably grab a repro dash from LMC when the time comes. Going to have it resprayed the factory blue and delete the side moulding as well.
Hoping this coming weekend to get a fresh battery in it, replace the injector harnesses and figure out why it wasn't getting fuel. Gonna be another fairly tight budget build as I'm now up to 4 trucks that need work/built.
