Got out a 1988 harness with minimal cutting, got two 93+ tps sensors by themselves off of two other trucks. Had to do some cutting so soldering is a must, but I have a good idea which wires go where haha

In your situation a parts truck wreck with reported good engine/trans might be something to look for. Sounds like you are headed in the right direction.

That would be a good idea, but unfortunately no trailer to bring the thing to my buddy's house. Good news is there is about 15 of them between 3 junkyards in my area so I'm not hurting yet. 300$ M350 TBI is getting picked up Friday, got the name for a local guy to rebuild trans for ~400$ and I'm trying to get all the hours from work as I can to pay for this as well haha

If you can get the trans rebuilt for 4 bills you are doing really well. Be prepared to pick up a few steaks and beers for the guy who does it at that price. It appears that you will be rolling under your own power soon.

Yea I'm was wanting to get it all done before graduation, but I don't know if I want to keep the motor out and modify it a bit while it's already out. Decisions decisions....

I would first want a stable, running truck I could depend on and make sure of that before mods . Your ambition may be different, but performance parts on a used engine can accelerate any pending failures by a hundredfold. It depends on how much a dependable daily driver is worth to you. Later on when more bucks come in a crate motor with mods might be the way to go. Since you have to save money just to get it running it likely would be prudent to hold off. I wouldn't want to either but it might be a better course.

That's true, I was just thinking of doing some upgrades while the motor is out but that is a good point about accelerating any issues with the motor
