So now what do I do with this crew cab? I could rebuild the tbi 454, but I’m not impressed at all with its performance. Seems like that would be a waste. Well fate intervened, I was picking up some spare wheels and tires from a guy I found on Facebook. He mentioned that he had an engine that would be perfect for my truck. We struck a deal and I brought it home. I’m currently collecting parts for the swap.
It’s from a 1991.5, VE pump, 12 valve. I also got the 1st gen radiator, intercooler, and intercooler piping with it.
