Ok here is the an update:
I put a TBI Spacer on and had the radiator rebuilt a couple of weeks ago. Then drove it out to Seattle/Tacoma to have Thanksgiving dinner with the ol' ladys folks and haul back some furniture. It kept running rougher and rougher and getting worse mpg so I did a compression test and number 5 was down to around 50 psi (the others were all around 100) so I start looking for a Cummins to transplant...(Man, hotrodtodd's,dually gives me wood)
see here:
Well anyway I found a good running Vortec 454 (Roller cam) on craigslist for 800 bucks so it is going in this week. (No fabrication involved) I will keep the old motor to build for my T-Bucket project and will continue to look for a wrecked Dodge donor.
