New to 60 degree motors.

[88Jimmy]

Hey guys my name's Josh. I'm 20 and I've been messing with S10's since I was about 13. I'm new to the 2.8 motors though since most of my truck have been 4.3's. I've heard alot of bad stuff about 2.8's in the past but I picked up a 88 Blazer with a 2.8/auto about 2 years ago and I've slowly been working on it. Lately it's been more about the mechanics than the looks. The truck seems to run great but I have alot of questions about it. Here's how it looked when I got it.



And how it looks as of yesterday.



I will be posting my problems and questions here shortly. Hopefully someone can help me out!

Welcome! Very nice and simply done on the truck.

Thanks, it's a work in progress...

I'm currently trying to get the vacuum lines fixed (generic diagrams suck), delete the smog pump, and do the 4.3 TBI swap, e-fan conversion, and maybe later a set of OBX headers with a new Dynomax cat-back exhaust...

I went ahead and posted new threads in the Pushrod Maintenance and Pushrod Performance. I'm hoping to get as much info on this thing as I can... Would anyone like more pics of my truck?
