    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    Its more my budget is 2k min, with potential up to 4k if I free up some funds from my E30 build. I can see how thats confusing. I dont have room for another parts truck, my cars are stored at the rents and I use/ daily them only when I'm home so its a full driveway already. maybe If I take one w...

    Vince's TBI woes, progressive revelations, and tbi mods.

    I found this thread while browsing the forum. Why dont you run Megasquirt on the truck? It'd run the engine no problem and youll never need to deal with chips again?

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    Same, only died on me twice from a clogged fuel filter that the PO just let sit. But I just like chasing power goals for some reason.... although I bet if I had a 5 speed in the truck id be alot happier.

    If you could do it over again would you go the same route or say Vortec/ SBC with a TBI EFI system

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    Once I figured out the system it seems simple enough and my truck fires up just as well as my E30. I've got no complaints except looking at the stock power figures XD

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    I didn't learn to tune my on megasquirt just to keep it NA! Its 100% ready for boost. Yeah its more of a pipe dream than anything, I think my truck should weigh about 3700 pounds so itd liven it up but probably be a dog off boost.

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    A 350 TBI would be nice. Doesn't seem like theres as much content/ support for them. Working on a carb is something I've never done and tbh I dont mind keeping it that way. EFI all the way

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    I considered slapping in my BMW M30B35 5 speed its power figures are pretty good compared to say a 350 SBC. If I only had decent fab skills.... Theres a guy on the E30 fb page already doing a M30 powered C10 so I asked him what itd cost to replicate the mounts....

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    Considering I already have TBI with the V6 shouldnt I be good in that regard? the EFI from holley seems like a TBI setup so I bet my fuel PSI should meet the requirements. If I can find a deal like that I may just pull the trigger. I guess you never know so I might as well keep looking

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    I love the idea but a long block that needs a rebuild goes for 1k around me. (I could afford it but I cant justify spending that much tbh)

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    Time is truly my only obstacle atm. I'd love to tackle a LS swap but I just cant have the truck down for that long in my rents driveway when im not home all that often. I briefly considered a running 350SBC from a local guy who parts a bunch of squares, and then throwing a Holley or fi-tech...

    New to the GM Square Body forum and I have a question

    I was looking at western chassis (https://westernchassis.com/1973-87-chevy-gmc-truck-high-performance-front-and-rear-sway-bar-set/) for front and rear sway bars. I have no idea what makes for the best suspension but id like my truck to not feel like a bloated boat. Ive lowered mine 3-4" front...

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    Its always best when its other peoples money lol. Why would I go this route vs say the fi-tech EFI conversion? about 1/3rd the price.

    Thanks! Mine is very far from stock as I prefer to mod all my rides. The builtM30b35 is hopefully going in hopefully soon. I just love the styling of E30s.

    AR5 swaps?

    I have been looking into fabbots AR5 kit for LS swaps and SBCs. I am surprised I couldn't find anything here by searching. Ive asked in a few groups on FB but prefer to use forums. Plenty of guys there use it with 500+ HP/ Tq or at least claim as much. I am looking to drop my 700R4 and get a...

    E30 has been the DD when I'm back from school for the past 3 years. No complaints from me besides all the SUVs cutting me off because they cant see me. Tuned via megasquirt and might be putting in a big M30 to add a few horses.

    one piece or two piece vent windows?

    I did one vent and it was a PITA. not looking forward to doing the other one, but it is needed with how cracked mine are.

    V6 TBI to..... recommendations?

    I have a 43k mile V6 TBI with a 700R4. The engine and trans really dont impress me. I have considered everything from turboing my V6 and running it on megasquirt to swapping in a 6.0 LS. I just picked up V8 engine perches and have a lead on the same guy for a manual swap for 350$. I dont...

    Electric motor to swap for SBC

    Does Austria allow engine swaps? I'm fairly certain Germany is a no, but I could see a clean updated engine/exhaust being marketable to keep the older cars on the road with less pollution.

    LS swap

    Thats a pretty good price for a swap. I'd do the swap just for the MPG alone, the V6 does not impress.

    Electric motor to swap for SBC

    I think electric cars fit the mold for plenty of people in cities and suburbs throughout America. And as more people move to the cities it'll only grow the market. 82% of Americans live in an urban environment and a large majority don't drive over 400 miles a day, if you divide the average...

    Electric motor to swap for SBC

    if i could financially pick between an LS or a fully electric motor id go battery powered all the way. Seems like such a fun swap in any vehicle. And "unique" to boot.

    Where to find replacement glass/ locks

    Picked this up from a junkyard before I found a black one locally. Is there anyway to replace the inside glass? Just looking to fix it and then flip it as I don't have a chevy and I don't need it. If anyone locally needs it id be happy to offer it up for free though.
