My son and I are rebuilding a 1984 GMC S-15 Jimmy.
Our primary is to drop a V-8 350 in place of the 2.8 Liter V6 that
came in it originally with a budget of less than $5000.
So far we have made good progress.... motor out, V-8 pulled....now
for the uphill climb of putting the proverbial square peg in a round
hole.
