    Reb you would see a little more boost. But not much more power. Most of the restriction seems to be in the intake manafold.

    Curse this infernal wiring!!

    I had the same headlight problem on a 83 chevy pick up. Make sure the ground from the firewall to the engine bell housing is still there and it's clean and tight. That cured my problem. Hope it helps.

    Thinking about adding a turbo....Is it worth it?

    FT i would think it wouldn't take long to spray little pieces of head gasket all over the engine compartment At 2800 and 20psi. But it bet it would run 20 sec in the quarter mile doing it.

    Thinking about adding a turbo....Is it worth it?

    Once you install the turbo you can increase the fuel rate. And that's where you will see a big increase in power. Ask Sailor2000. his truck is N/A and he's ridden in mine. He can tell you first hand the difference.

    Alternator mount type?

    no it's not. Although it's really close. You can eather cut the back tab for the bottom bolt off of the alternator or put the bracket in a milling machine and remove some metal from the back side where the bottom bolt comes through. You will also need to reuse the pulley from the leece...

    I have a 82 K20 with the 6.2 and a SM465. They work well together. If your decide to swap you'll need the brake pedal assembly from the doner truck. They are different.

    question on fuel

    Dnails, yes ATF will add some lube to your fuel it will also help clean parts. It has some detergents in it. It will swell seals and help stop leaks also. But i dout one quart per fifty gallons would help in the stop leak dept.

    question on fuel

    If he is worried about lube for the IP, then kerosene will make it worse. It has less lubrication quailities than diesel. There are plenty of additives out there for lubing the IP. Motor oil will work. I burn plenty of it. But at $9.00 a gallon it's not very cost effitive. A quart of lucas fuel...
