83 c30 dually 454

[Jeramie]

Just got this for cheap. It was an aborted project. Plan to get it running and driving with as little cash as possible then slowly build it out for towing and hauling.

I have most of what's needed to get the engine running. It has a new clutch in it. New oil pan.
Need to get a plug for the engine harness as its missing from the firewall bulhead. A few tires, some bolts and and alternator bracket. Will get new plugs and wires, belts and hoses, and I new cap and rotor to go in.

Progress.

Looks like I need to find a transmission mount, still need alternator bracket, and an entire underhood rewire. Hope to get it together enough to see if it runs ok today. Still need to get some plugs to do that though.

Looks like a good project. If it has the emission sticker anywhere please post a pic of it to the sticker thread.

Thats all long gone unfortunately.

Got it to bark off by filling the float bowls. Has 30 psi oil pressure at idle and over 60 total under throttle. Should be a decent runner.

Yep, mine too. I was able to pass smog without it but would like to find one just in case.

Here's the one for my '85 K30 454 CA emissions. My truck is an early production '85 so it has an '84 sticker. Emission standards changed 1/1/85. This may be close to what you need for '83.

Have you posted these to the "Under Hood Vacuum Diagram and Tuning Stickers" thread? If not will you please, someone will thank you sooner or later.

Got my 85 off to the transmission shop so they fix whatever it is that they got wrong on the bench rebuild. Hope to have it back midweek. Going to order a painless performance harness for the 1 ton next week. I did the same thing on my 79 c10 and its been awesome.
