I just wanted to say hello, I am doing a 6.0 swap into a 1984 silverado 4x4 short box. I am up north in upstate ny where the salt wins the fight every year. and carbs don't like the cold. my truck just arrived from n.c., her body is clean, but needs an interior, and a heart transplant. great site here I love all of the info available. My v 8 bike I am building will be carburated, see youtube under dcatlin for that project.

Suspiciousminds

At least not for me it doesn't. All I get is "This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it? It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help."

Nevermind, as I see someone posted them on the last page.
