EDIT: I am now modifying a spare 3400 upper intake to fit a 4.3l TBI on top of it to keep my stock harness and computer. A taller distibutor will clear the #5 runner, I just have to find one that will work.
Plan is to throw on 3400 heads and intakes that i have laying around, T-5 transmission and a astro van AWD transfer case to make it an AWD truck.
my daily driver is a lowered 88 2 door blazer with 4x4, 2.8l and auto transmission. I have reduced the weight of the truck to 2890 lbs with me in it.
The word is that the compression of the 2.8l will rise to 11.1 which would be fine with 93 octane and a proper tune. Will it really only be 11.l or something ridiculous like 14.1 compression? There are head spacers for the 2.8l available that i can coat with copper, would those be reliable to use with head gaskets? what obd 1 computer would be best to use?
This is happening one way or another and will be a cool truck. my other vehichle is a 3400/3500 96 grand am coupe nearly completed.
