    Puff of smoke on start up

    Kinda depends on how much smoke, it'll probably be fine though.

    Old floor jack no longer holds. Time for a new one.

    I've been thinking about the Daytona Super Duty: https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-low-profile-super-duty-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-metallic-purple-70611.html I seem to recall that one being the Snap-on lawsuit model but I forget the specifics.

    Tbi 350 swap to zz4 350

    Your post made me remember I took this picture: If they're out of stock you can make the same thing with unions and male to male adapters but that's the cleanest way to go, plus no need for 37 degree flaring dies.

    Tbi 350 swap to zz4 350

    I just cut the fuel lines off at some point, flare them and adapt to -AN, and then run the -AN wherever you need it to go.

    Is this stuff ok to use on ICM

    Should be fine, I'd imagine modern cpus are transferring a lot more thermal energy than the ICM. It's a pea sized drop for a 1"x1" surface to give you an idea of how much to use.

    Coolant temperatures while towing

    225 isn't really a big deal for the motor, but it's pretty hot for the transmission. Get some stats on trans temp and then see if you need to make changes.

    Vortec head swap potential

    Like 250ish horsepieces, maybe even to the tire.

    3rd or OD in the mountains

    Personally I'd drop it into D uphill but you're probably ok in OD on the flats. Also, I'm a fan of trans coolers with integrated thermostatic bypasses plumbed after the radiator cooler. I might be getting ahead of myself with the science here, but my idea is you want the liquid cooler first...

    Fuel leak after replacing injectors

    You're going to have to get closer to pinpointing the leak to know for sure. If you can't get a visual, put a glove on, prime the rail, and start feeling it up until you have a wet finger.

    My 1990 Silverado C1500 longbed

    Stick with the stock temperature thermostat and don't delete EGR unless you're changing the tune to accommodate. IAC won't do anything for gas smell, a datalog will tell you if it's experiencing an issue. Honestly I'd be hesitant to change any engine parts (o2, coil) given the state of...

    Redneck DoD

    Ah yes, the widely adopted and much celebrated Displacement on Demand. Unless you've got a way to stop the valves from opening, this is a bad idea. You should replace your injectors with a flow matched set of new ones before the trip.

    Barn Find IROC-Z

    Clickbait title. The barn is my shop and I put the car there three months ago. But! It does have: -Inauthentic "barn dust" which was actually just a 200 mile road trip in the pouring rain -Oxidized everything from being stored outside for two years -Non-running condition -Bonus electrical issues...

    air line going to shocks

    Not stock, you can replace them with whatever you like.

    Build a junkyard tool bag- suggestions

    This is a typical junkin loadout for me: RIP black nut driver. It was the worst nut driver I have ever used and it died in the heat of battle out in the yard. The wrench roll and foldy organizer stay in the truck full time, loose tools are borrowed from the shop. I pack it like this...
