getting closer to having the motor out, still a lot of stuff to disconnect. haven’t gotten to it yet but, how the hell do i get the headers unbolted from the y pipe looks really tight. Also getting to the top bolts to the tranny?
Pulling the motor tomorrow to drop a new one in, never done one on these trucks wondering if you guys have any tips or anything, having a hard time finding a guide on pulling these motors online
stock 2.8 tbi just hit 255000 miles and she is tired. started knocking the other day/really bad lifter tick not sure which yet but decided now’s a good time to just put in a “new to me” motor. all the research i’ve done says the 3.4 is basically a drop in swap but i can not find one for the life of me, where are people finding these motors?
1992 2.8 5 speed
Looking for suggestions on some cheap mods that will improve things like handling, already did a 4/5 drop, exhaust is done all the way back. not looking for more power more just things that will make it more “fun” to drive. wheel hop is awful due to the giant lowering blocks i used so already planning on getting some new lowering leafs for the rear
*note
This is my first lowered truck, i’m a honda guy and this is a whole new world to me
