Got my 4BBL set up I pulled out of the junk yard up and running, and on the pickup. What a difference! Idle is perfect, power is waaaaaaay up now, and it just sounds sooooooo good! I'm liken it lots! Here's a few pic. I just had to share. The old, The new, And here's the choke thermostat I couldn't find,

More details on this swap please? Any mods to that engine or all stock? I have a bone stock 79 Power Wagon with 318 I'm considering doing the same thing to..
Well, if you mean me. No mods, just all stock. Took all of what I needed to do the swap off a '76 pickup in the bone yard. After I clean, bead blasted, painted, got some new parts, and rebuilt everything it all went on with little effort (but damn those manifolds are heavy!). I even got all the kick down linkage, and throttle cable too. I think it turned out good. Anyway, I'm happy with it. I just took my time doing it. Mostly cause I can't stand very long on my sore toe. If you have any questions let me know.

Mike, You know that Car/Truck guys are never "All Done" with their projects When we die is when we are actually "All Done" with our projects
But not everyone can say, they're driving their coffin around! Waiting for just that moment.....................

Thanks for the response. Yeah I think I have most everything needed for the swap. Would just like to give the teen a little more umph..
