 Post subject: Diesel to gas luv
PostPosted: Mon Sep 01, 2003 10:12 pm 
Hey i am 15 almost 16 and i have a luv diesel 4 clynder and this thing is just way to slow for my taste. I want to swap it to a gas engine and was wondering what stuff i should throw out and what stuff i should keep and get. What kind of gas engines would be a good upgrade to this truck.

Go with a good Chevy 4.3 V6 or if you want, a small block V8 will fit nicely. There are many of us who have or who are in the process of doing just that on this site. Look around a read the postings to see what you might want to do. We are all here to help out. Oh yea, big blocks fit too as there are a few of them here too.
