4.1 mpg?
Basic tune-up crap. How do the plugs look? the wires? air and fuel filter? Does the gas cap suck air when you take it off? Do you have a vacuum gauge in the truck? you should see right at 20 Hgs. at idle on a stock engine. when was the last time you packed the bearings? Are your...- dvdswan

K10 softer ride
I have a 3-link suspension front and rear on my Nissan. It rides and drives like a dream. It's a solid axle not an IFS so it's not a Cadillac smooth ride. It is leaps and bounds better than a leaf spring suspension though. And its a blast to wheel.- dvdswan

1973 K5 Blazer full removable top a little high but is it rare???
Don't buy that. 69, 70, 71, and 72 Blazer/Jimmys were all full-size as well. You have to remember that there was Jeep CJ5/7, International Scout, Nissan Patrol, Toyota FJ, Range Rover were all coming to the market in the late 60s early 70s.- dvdswan

1973 K5 Blazer full removable top a little high but is it rare???
Rare... IMO no. Full removable top for 3 years, but 69-72 was also and IMO more valuable. It looks to be in decent shape for its age. But, I would scourer it for rust, Blazer bodies love it (tailgate, wheel wells, rockers, bottom of kick panels, and the front part of the bed which is directly...- dvdswan

Help bringing this K20 back to life..
Do you have emissions testing where you are at? If not, remove all the emissions crap. On a vehicle that has sat for a while, I will generally give it a tune-up. Filters (air and fuel), plugs, wires (if they are old), timing, etc. Vacuum lines, on a non-emissions vehicle IIRC, there was...- dvdswan

Engine installation 78 K25
You can leave the trans/tcase in. When you install the clutch assembly on the flywheel, ensure you have the alignment tool with a tooth on top, then place trans in neutral and align the input shaft with a tooth on top. If you have a engine leveler attached to the hoist it will make it easier too.- dvdswan

Oil pressure
Change the oil/filter, connect an oil pressure gauge to the side of the block by the oil filter and retest. Chances are it's a tired engine, oil galleys are partially clogged, oil pump is tired, old oil in the line from the top of the block to the gauge, etc.- dvdswan
