Thanks! yeah I've been looking for a little 4 cylinder pickup to run me back and forth to school, even though it's a 4.3 I couldn't pass it up.

I sure wouldn't, i picked up a 76 sierra for $500, most reliable vehicle i've owned. regret selling it. hopfully this will pan out the same for you. me and 3rd gen's don't get along too well lol, always good to have a back up plan.

lol, yea that truck got maybe 12 mpg, and i had about a 50 mile commute daily for work, spent half my paycheck on gas alone lol. sure was nice taking it off road tho. always fun. smart move saving gas. especially when your still in school.

Yeah. lol I know these 4.3's don't get much better mileage than a 350 but atleast it's a light truck. Anyone know what these get for fuel economy?

i think an combo of meguiars ultimate compound, swirlx, scratch x 2.0, colorx, deep crystal polish, and nxt gen 2.0 would make that girl look BETTER THEN NEW! i say the above would be an killer combo Very Happy

My old 4.3L jimmy with a built 700r4 got 20mpg if I was lucky!

i got a 91 s10 and i get about 300 miles to 3/4 of a tank. most of my driving is highway though. good find on that truck though...looks in good shape. how much ya looking to lower it?

If you want mileage, find yourself a 60* and a T5. If you want some semblance of pulling power, then keep the 90*. I think Chris' mileage estimate might be a bit high, but it's a 2wd, and a short box/short bed.

With a 3.1L, nwc T5 and a 4brl I was getting 17 city 22-24 hwy. Multiport would have gotten even better.

Well so much for that I guess. that website Paul posted said 16/22. Thats exactly what the firebird gets with two more cylinders lol.
Atleast it'll take the winter beating while the Formula can chill in the garage. Cool

Atleast I got it thru DEQ today, took two tries since it was high on CO's. The HC's were well in the limit. Makes me wonder if it's getting enough fuel.
