'89 R3500 Crew Cab 2wd to 4wd conversion & beyond
- Thread starter mrk5
- Start date
Started out with 2wd TBI350 with SM465 to current 4wd with 454, 700r4, NP241
The Holley feed will do that.
Yeah it needs that. I have a '95 Mazda B3000/Ranger that the last owner had a short in the fuel pump circuit so they just ran an inline fuse and new wire to the pump from an ignition source. Stupid thing wouldn't start worth crap after I fixed some other stuff. You had to key on for the pump to pressure up then crank and let off fast and hope it fired with the pressure it had and then the pump would kick back on as soon as you stopped cranking. I did a quick check with a meter and it was shorted in the circuit going to the inertia switch I believe. I just removed that part from the circuit and it runs straight to the pump from the factory relay. Starts great now. I know (not safe) if I wreck but I will be ok.
Dropped by the Cat Scale today. Want to do a before and after to see how much weight the 454 adds. All I can say is that she's a heavy bitch:
I was expecting closer to 6700. Maybe I'm naive.

should be only looking at another 100lbs with the BBC right?

My 04 superduty diesel only weighed like 7300 last time it got weighed. That's a lot of weight for that poor small block.
About 150
I'm guess 150 pounds is a good trade off for 104 cubes that aren't wrung out already

Seeing your weight makes me feel all thin and trim!!
I thought it was 150ish?
I should weigh my black 77 again I believe it was around 4300/4500 with the BB.

I'll go with "Anal bum cover" for $146, Alex.
I took pictures of the fuel level in both tanks to try and match for the after weight. I'm hoping to gain less than 150. Was really hoping for 100. Maybe I could cheat and order a fiberglass hood. I mean heck the current hood has a crack in it anway....
Just occurred to me I still have the snow chains in the cab. Taking those out has gotta save 70lbs.
But I'll leave them in because I want to get an accurate measure. The lady at the truck stop is going to know me on sight by the time I'm done messing around with weight changes.

Be stupid not to...
