Re: 88 1500 daily driver project

Well, it appears to have popped a head gasket

fortunaly I have a freash engine in waiting, just wasn't planning on swapping just yet.

New engine specs are as follows:

1988 l98 350 block .030" over
Arp main bolts
Eagle Cast crank
Eagle I beam rods
arp wave lock bolts
speed pro flat tops
10:1 compression
Comp 08-501-8 roller cam
GM performane roller lifters
Cloyes roller chain
Rotating assembly balanced
083 heads
2.02/1.6 valves
comp double springs
pocket ported
Comp 1.52 Roller Rockers

For now, I have a stock tbi intake and going to get bigger injectors.
eBay stainless shorty headers on the way.

I have a fully ported tpi setup with slp runners that I plan to swsp later.

In the meantime, I'll get the prom tuned and run tbi.

Also swapped a set of sport mirrors
Got 2 sets of 4x6 Infinity Kappa plates, and a JVC headunit. I test fit one in the passenger dash hole, it fit fine!

New bushings and pins for the doors are here as well, just need to install.
