    What’s the best way to fix/clean up this wiring problem?

    Cleaning up that mess of wires is not going to solve your drain issue.

    Power loss with aggressive acceleration

    I had a small block that slowly lost power once. It was a cam and timing chain issue

    Loose timing chain replacement

    Crank gear does not need to be removed to install a timing chain but cam gear will have to be unbolted.

    How does this sort of thing happen????

    Have you checked to see if the outer bolt tab has not broken from the block? It appears to be a problem for SBC, BBC, and 6.2 diesel.

    Modified engine crewcab gas mileage?

    I'm always amused by how much money people are willing to spend to squeak out another MPG or two in their square. Gas is cheap and getting cheaper under the new administration. Just fill it up and run it.

    backfire under wide open throttle

    I would confirm correct plug wire orientation.

    First major project vehicle!

    Make sure the outer engine block tab for the starter is not broken as it is a weak spot for the 6.2. There are fixes but none are very easy. Also make sure you use the bracket on the back of the starter. You may have to fabricate one if it is missing.

    Reverse light options

    Can you tag the truck "antique" like here in PA and forget about inspections forever?

    I don't run spares in any trucks. You can find a 12v compressor with sealant for about $50. That will give you about a 50/50 chance of making it home and not calling a rollback. Many new cars have no spare.

    Replacement Panels - All Created Equal - Yes or No?

    I've been using LMC for over 20 years. I never had a problem. I have seen videos on YouTube where most of the original GM dies were sold and transferred to Taiwan . Keep in mind , inner rockers and floor pans ,as well as cab supports, don't have as much impact as quarter panels or door skins.

    I'm that old guy that doesn't know how to post pics but I do know how to identify a scammer and welcome the challenge. Game on.

    New to engine swaps, looking for help with an LS3 swap into my 79 k20

    What is a LS going to do for you that the 400 can't do? People swap 350's and collect 400"s I heard that once here. I've had a few 400's and am sold on the torque that they produce. .

    An LMC catalog Is a pretty good parts breakdown IMHO.
