Been on the board a while now, have already learned a lot from the collective wisdom here. I was previously (and am still) a chevy truck guy and have been active on 67-72chevytrucks under this same handle. Been working on this build for a few months, finally have time to document the build. Gonna be a few posts while I'm on a long train ride today, bear with me here.
Bought this 1989 GW in late January. Had almost 200K miles and needed a fuel pump. Had the original 360/727/229 combo, with a Howell EFI system. The plan was to drive it for a while and then LS swap it. After driving it for a _little_ while, I realized the swap was going to make things a lot more enjoyable. It had a stalling issue and just general sluggishness, which I know is par for the course with these engines.
It is an East Coast car and shows it in places. It’s eventually going to need some exterior panel work and a paint job but as I always do with my projects, I’m focusing on the mechanicals first. Goal is to get it back on the road this year with the new powerplant and then paint next year.
