Hi Everyone. My name is PJ. I have a 76' With a Vortec 350 I have been working on for the past few months. In other words I have a lot of spare parts in the NC area plus a couple parts trucks if anyone needs anything.

Completely Fuel Injected all the way down to the rear O2 sensors. No Luv wiring at all. Completely rewired entire truck. That has been a pain. Even the tail lights.

I've got plenty of head room..... But My problem is I only have about an Inch of Radiator clearance. Should be Enough but Iwould like some more so I think I'm going with the short WP setup.

Hey, PJ! I'm not too far from you in Apex and I was wondering what spare parts you have and when we might be able to get together. My 79 longbed has only 133K original miles on stock drivetrain but a few body panels have seen better days. Hope to hear from you soon!

Very Nice. What are you going to do about a fuel tank?

I have no Idea........ I think I want to recess the stock 98 tank in the bed but it has a strange shape. Well see.... Looking for around a 30 gallon but then I have to buy an efi pump to go inline. My best bet is the stock 98 I guess.

Once again call my cell phone and we'll meet up. I hate E-mailing back and forth when we can just talk on the phone and figure it all out. 910-279-6194
