Like I need another project 1994 Chevy 1500

[swampratt]

I got one yesterday just for the engine and transmission.
I may not keep the trans as it needs rebuilt. TH400 from TCI.
Engine is a 388 stroker with aluminum heads forged pistons and Team G intake 850 holley HP carb.
Solid roller cam 640 lift. EQ heads 200 cc runners.
Stud girdle.

I will be taking most of this engine apart before I run it in another vehicle.
That is the plan anyway.
This truck has LED lights and 10 bolt rearend converted to disc brakes and 4.56 gear.

None yet.
it is red 2 door long bed red interior and the fool cut the bed to install a square aluminum fuel tank in the bed and cut a spot in the bed to access the original fuel tank.

Man that sounds like a fun build! Unless the truck is trash I'd be tempted to farmtruck it.

It actually looks pretty straight .
Clear coat on the hood is gone and the wind caught the driver door and opened it toooo far and bent the lip and the rear of the fender lip.
Seat is very nice.
Power windows work and no broken or cracked glass anywhere.
It is dirty and oiled down underneath the truck but that can be cleaned up and I will clean it after I pull the engine and then I will sell it without the engine.
Has mag wheels that look decent and 275-60-15 tires all the way around ..I may take the tires for myself and put something else on.


Some push on off buttons on panels to replace the factory ones on the dash looks like a teenager had this truck and the LED lights and all the stereo wires and FiTeck fuel injection wires everywhere.

Guess you’ll need to sell me the nova to make some space?

I would rather give you the truck for free than sell you the Nova.

And I forgot I had the NOVA!!!
Maybe this engine needs to go into it instead of my 1947 dodge truck.

Hard to believe the 10 bolt rear end survived, those are not known for durability

I just drove a 97 Chevy Astro home for a farmers market project. I'm not sure if I still have a man card.

I have broke every chevy rearend I ever had.

But they were stock.
9" fords in all my hot rods and stock I have not broke them but 1 time.

The 10 bolt rearends I see survive are only using the GM housing and all the guts are aftermarket.
And you better weld the axle tubes if you are making it HOOK!
12 bolt gm rears broke just as easy for me.
