 Post subject: Cheapest 4bbl?
PostPosted: Mon Aug 13, 2001 7:14 am 
Thanks for responding, everyone!
What it comes down to is I'm basically looking for inexpensive options to get more performance out of my truck, but if this would take a lot of time to get working, I probably should put the project off until I get out of school. It's looking like it would be more than a weekend project and I actually need to use my truck. Can anyone suggest the easiest way to put a 4bbl on my truck that wouldn't be too expensive (and will pass Texas emissions--it's an '80)?
Thanks again everyone!
Eric

Leave the carb. and work on opening-up the exhaust side. Also work on re-curving the distributor. If the truck is a 1 bbl, look for a factory 2 bbl set-up.

I guess I'll start looking for one of those. Thanks, Mr. Dutra!
