I'm Awesome
Here's a little background on my truck before I flood y'all with questions about it:
She a 1989 gmc sierra slx k1500. She has the 4.3L v6 backed by a 5spd manual transmission. I bought her out of a feild for 500 bucks a few months ago and have been dailying her for a month or 2 in town and highway. One of the main things I had to do was a new fuel pump and rebuild the EFI. I rebuilt it with a kit from NAPA and made sure to clean everything really good. It runs good. But pretty darn rich. I don't really care to troubleshoot the EFI in it, I just want to eventually replace it.
The major question I have is can I slap a 4 barrel manifold on this and run a holley sniper EFI? My train of thought is the truck is manual and doesn't need a signal from the ECM to shift, and the timing is off a distributor. In my mind this swap is doable, but I figured I should ask the experts.
Keep in mind this won't be for a while. I have to drive this thing across the country to move and won't be able to do anything to it for a while. However when I make it out to Kentucky I plan to pull this thing into the shop, yank the engine and tranny to rebuild both of them, put the truck on the lift and replace all the seals and fluids in the drive train, and undercoat the truck. I was wanting to do this swap after rebuilding the engine if that's possible.
Thanks guys!
