Hey, have had my 94 for a little while now, its my dd and trail. Mild 4 inch procomp susp. some lc motor up grades but I can not find a bigger lift. anyone know of a 6 inch for this truck? Also when I run my 33's for trail the truck won't go above 65-70 even downhill in 4th. Not sure why, replaced the clutch, the valve guides seem to be bad, smokes every now and then and burns oil. Should I spend the time trying to rebuild it, or dare I say bowtie small block??? any answers would be great, love the site.

If you are still running stock gears with the 33's, you will have a loss in power.
Rebuilding or swapping engines is up to you and your wallet, and there's a lot of choices other than a SB Chevy, including the newer Toyota 2.7L 4 cyl or 3.4L V6.

On any engine swap it's best to get everything possible from a donor vehicle, including electronics and wiring. There are a few companies that make adapters to make swaps easier. Off Road Solutions makes a wiring harness to make the 3.4 swap easier, and Advance Adapters makes a lot of parts for a lot of different swaps. Also check Downey Offroad and Northwest Offroad. With any engine swap you will have to beef up the suspension to handle the additional weight, and a larger radiator. |
