As many may already know, I am converting a 1994 Chevy 4.3L TBI pickup into some sort of retro-mod/rat truck thing, and have stalled out on the dismantling because of all the wires and crap going through the firewall and all over the damn place. It's frustrating!
So my question is if I would be able to run the engine without all the emissions junk and the ECM if I just go ahead and start hacking harnesses to get the body off, or am I stuck with that setup? I know earlier iterations of this engine didn't have all this complication. I miss the "good old days" of three wires and a carb.
Thanks in advance... I did a Search, but will look more as well.
"And if you go early 80's the 4.3 was all over in Camaros blazers etc with carbs." Sounds like I could convert it. That would be good!
Also read a few threads about adding intake, carbs, headers. It will depend on budget, which is very thin at this point. Like one guy said, "the leather in my wallet is worth more than what's in it!" And I have a canvas wallet... LOL
