Nice!

That heater, from what I hear will cook you out. The main problem is, it's 24 volt and power hungry. You will need to have the truck running to use this. Cut your losses, if you can even get it running (I have two of them, never gotten either to work). Go with an aftermarket one, which will...

Mine had slot head screws. When I was replacing the solenoid, I managed to drop one and after 45 minutes of looking, I gave up. Since the slot heads were not a standard type screw (they were thicker), I decided to replace them with cap head screws. Nice thing about this is I could sneak a tee...

I replaced my IP cover screws with cap head bolts. Worked good.

Performance Fuel Injection is likely the kit I am going with, since it is a little cheaper. https://pfisys.com/ The other one I was looking at is Howell EFI. Nice thing is they have a lot of kits for a lot of applications. https://howellefi.com/ Now keep in mind, this is coming from a guy...

Well mine will be TBI'ish. Engine is a roller cam, Vortec heads 454. I am using a standard carb intake and will use a TBI kit that will bolt to it. The advantages will be, dead simple with only 5 easy to replace and cheap sensors. It also gives me the ability if the whole TBI system bites...

Is that a Caddy engine? Sure it not any Chevy engine.

Sweet! I picked up a Gen VI 454 (long block, no factory EFI) for mine. I am going to put an old school GM TBI as they are cheap, reliable and easy to fix and get parts for. Scored a serpentine belt setup off EBay for it (gotta clean it up).

Originally I voted new or rebuilt 6.5 but changed to used gasser. Myself, I have picked up a Gen VI 454 big block Chevy that will replace the 6.2L. I am going to use an old school GM TBI system as they are dead simple, reliable and very easy to get parts for. It will have way more HP than a...

So do you have a serpentine belt setup or V belt? Looking at the two pulleys, I would say serpentine. If so, do you have the correct water pump, as they are reverse rotation. Also serpentine belt is not stock for any CUCV series trucks.

Sweet, I am using the 12v, 120amp, 4s version.

I replaced mine with a Fluidamper unit, just for safety. As it was, my low mileage (15K) engine showed that the rubber had started to crack and split out of the balancer. From the front it looked fine. M1010 balancer Here is one off another project that when the pulley was on, it looked...

I have thought about the same idea of a tensioner but it seems that I recalled many years back reading that V belts do not like to have "backwards" pressure on the belt as they were not designed for that direction of tension. I agree with the belt strum at idle. LOL Makes me want to bump the...

That is coming out great! What are you using for a BMS?

Exactly what Marcus is saying. Half the volts, double the current. Upsize your starter, battery and ground cables. I actually bought 2/0 for when I redo mine.

Never seen the CUCV II ambulance before. I really wish those were around (this is likely promo and was never built). The later ones were dual rear wheel and wider body but I really like this version.

Sounds like you already made your decision regardless of what other people are saying. Go buy them and be happy. If you're not happy, well you were warned.

Got the rest of the box stripped down.
