Re: 86 k 20 project "cletus"

Funny - I installed this motor less than a year ago. I had no idea then that I would be pulling the truck totally apart for a restoration project. This engine runs fantastic (especially considering I bought it for $200) off of Craigs List. My only complaint is the carb needs rebuilt. I found an add on ebay where a guy is offering to rebuild your Q-Jet for $150 so I think I will give that a shot. I called NAPA today and asked what they would charge for a new remaned Q-Jet $1,000!!!!! Are they nuts???

Anyway...I got the transfer case almost fully detailed up today (didn't snap a pic yet) and got the engine stripped down and started the degreasing process.

I must say I am scared to death at the thought of how to get all those vacuum lines back on the right way!
