hey thats still faster than my civic si :nono: i ran a 15.8 i think at 88 hahaha

:D I just couldn't handle a 4.3 in a full size truck. I had it in my '03 Blazer Xtreme back in the day and even in a pretty small vehicle that's low to the ground it was pretty slow. It'd beat a stock Civic (which is pretty sad) but that's about it. I would have expected more pep out of it TBH....

i feel ya....id love a 350 5 speed but id settle for a 305 :D

Yeah...a solid 305 won't win ya any races but it's not terrible. The tbi 305 in my caprice does decent and is great for cruising.

ITS has turned into our own little chat room Geoff :lol:

that it has :lol: :party36:

never driven in a 305 vortec and i dont see em alot in trucks for sale either...

305 will smoke some tires and sound fast thats about it till you start tearing into it i think. good motors and i got damn near 20 mpgs.

A few years ago I test drove an ECSB (I believe it was a '97 :shrug:) 5-speed with a vortec 305. It drove pretty solid. Had OK pep when getting up to hwy speeds and drove real good. The only reason I can think of why I didn't buy is because the wife can't drive a stick and refuses to learn how :whymewhyme:

on the hwy I get about 20. In town the behemoth gets about 14 or 15 :lol: Oddly enough that's the best MPG of all of my vehicles :happy175: My "green" footprint is almost nonexistent it appears :lol:

if you venture to gmt400 check out the thread i made about my bike. having some issues if you know anything about em...

some times i miss my 2002 civic si 30mpg all day easily 37 when babied. but ever since having the black truck iv been hooked on V8s and trucks :)

don't mind me. just interrupting your personal chat room :)

howdy howdy!!!

What the?????? 3 people post on ITS in ONE day within a 14 hour time frame???? We're on fire now :rocking:


:lol:

i cant keep up....

I don't mind a long bed. My '77 is a longbed. The longbed is clean

Re: The conversation thread...
 

Good I like the long bed a lot but that hoe is just tooo cool! Talked to the guy yesterday. He has owned it for 5 years when it had 70k or so miles. Has 180k now.

Got a muffler installed and attempted a video today for the exhaust but turned out horrible due to wind so I'll have to try tomorrow if it's less windy.

In the meantime I hacked off part of the pipe to clean up the look

keeping it like that? looks good hidden! and i spy a dent lol

Most likely keeping it like that and yes a small dent. Haven't had a chance to handle it yet. Shouldn't take much to pop it out

also noticed you are or were a admin over on tahoe yukon! lol been doing research on limiteds

Yes I'm an admin on TYF :D you should sign up over there especially if you get that limited! Awesome group over there with a few Limited owners. I love the Limiteds! If it wasn't for needing a truck I'd have one right now rather than the '98

i will join for sure if i get a limited! or any yukon or hoe...insurance is taking their sweet ass time contacting eachother and my self :nono: apparently the bad weather is affecting them making phone calls? lol

Lol that's insurance companies for you

I also ordered headlights, parking lights and corners today

Starting to order a lot of stuff for the audio/video upgrade I'll be doing. Need to get a lot of parts so the install is still a couple months away but so far I have sound deadener, sub ordered, enclosure ordered, and amp will be ordered tonight. Still need to get carpet, component speakers, head unit,....

A little bit but nothing crazy. One JL Audio 10" under the seat. Hertz components in the door. DVD player in the dash. New carpet and of course sound deadner. Should sound really good on the inside. Not really after thumpin down the street though :lol: those days of hearing me thump blocks away are LONG gone :D
