I have an 85 D100 with a /6 1barrel. The truck is nicknamed "The Gutless Wonder" because it won't get out of it's own way. There is no power at all. You basically have to keep it floored to try to run 70mph interstate speed. So I am looking to upgrade a little in the power department. Now I'm not looking to make a hot rod just some reasonable, usable power. I am giving some thought to tring to go to a 2 barrel setup rather than the 1 barrel it came with. My question is, Is it worth the effort or should I just v-8 the truck and forget the old slant six? Will I get a fair amount more power out of the trouble going to two barrel,because of all the linkage change etc... to make it worth it? Anybody did this and have any insite.
Thanks
