Just a quick update to those who are interested... Stuffed a 302 and t5 in the pickup and now have a few little things to iron out before I can...
I have a Holley 500. Not enough carb. I would seriously suggest going sidedraft anything.
Besides boosting a 2rz, a mildly built 22r hybrid will be faster. Whole lot easier to put in too
Yep
Second gen meaning 76-78ish? Pm me a price on a windshield if so. Thanks
Spent all day yesterday getting the transmission for the pig. 4r70w out of a 96 v8 awd explorer. Also grabbed the block plates, dipstick,...
Leave it bone stock, fill it with premium, bump timing back 6 degrees and spray 150hp of nitrous thru it. Emissions legal, will have enough...

Ok, good to know. I bought a locar universal. If it won't work I'll hit you up bud.
I'll look on my camper to see if it has all that stuff on it still. I'll have no need for it if it does. 1978 long bed 20r. May take a day or two.
Remember the other stuff when doing this kind of work. I've blown up 4 driveshaft carrier bearings, motor mounts and 2 w58 transmissions. And...
Your not going to get anywhere near 200 w a downdraft. And I'd suggest getting lce's hi compression pistons (like 11:1)
Wtb the throttle cable that goes from the gas pedal to the linkage. Mine is frayed and is garbage. Oliver. 832-707-2784
