Well, if I was into gassers it would definitely be a Chebby. They make the best gas engines by a long shot....

I sure didnt mean to be critical of you. Nice motor foe show.
Ive heard of people finding Cummins motors for that price, but they sure arent new.
Good score.

Sorry, Are you staying with the stock throttle body set up? If so you would need to convert your gas pedal setup. If you go with a 99 throttle body you can run a cable actuated pedal. (easier) Sorry about the english, my wife tells me the same thing...

Ah ok, now I understand... Thanks eh !!
Well, what do you guys think?
The engine I got came with the complete pedal mechanism....but I hear what you and Philos1 are saying loud and clear and yes Im trying to keep this as easy and cheap as I can....
The menu for tomorrows lunch calls for some light wrenching.
