Hello, Introducing myself, been lurking around for several years, finally got the shop space to start on an EFI project.
I picked up a 1989 K1500 pickup with 143,000 miles, a 350ci and a five speed manual for $500. I plan to use this engine and ECU as the base for an EFI 350 engine to go in my wife's 1985 Monte Carlo SS. I haven't pulled the ECU out of the dash as of yet, but based on what I have read here it should be the 1227747 ECU that is well documented here. I plan to leave the engine in the truck and play around with the stock motor until I am comfortable with tuning and deleting the emissions control. Shortly after I will remove the engine for a complete overall. During the overhaul I plan to change the cam to get an honest 350lb-ft and 350 horsepower at the flywheel. The motor will go back into the truck for final tuning, where it will then be dropped into the 85.
I will be around. Pictures to follow later.
