Teck's '86 K5 Build -5.3 LS/4L65E swap

Going to get a new computer tomorrow to hopefully fix the injector issue and get the motor running.
Crossing my fingers that this will fix it and there are no more big problems.
 
Should not need the new computer, they figured out that it is stuck in 4 cylinder mood. He said he got it to start today, on 4 cylinders, so with some more tuning tomorrow to turn that off with my EFILive, should be good to go. Then just a few little things to tidy up and it should be ready to go.
He said he think he can get it finished tomorrow.
 
Latest set back to getting my K5 going!

Well apparently I got the hoses crossed up on the hydro assist steering and when they started it and went to move it it snapped the drag link. So I will be ordering a steering knuckle and crossover stuff from ORD on Monday when they get back from the Easter Jeep rally. Girl there said I need to talk with Chris to get the right stuff and he won't be back tell then.

Did here it start on 4 cylinders with open headers. WOW it sounded like a turd.
 
Yes that ram has more power then I thought. I figured it just wouldn't turn if something was backwards.

Just another reason to upgrade to something better.:doah:

More money, I'm not sure if it will ever end!
 
4/5/2012 First drive in it.

Just got back from driving my blazer in the parking lot where its at.
There are still some small bugs to work out but it will be coming back to my shop tomorrow.
For me to get some things done to it and take it for the exhaust. Then we can do the final tuning.
 
You have got to be giddy with excitement! Heart race a little bit did it? I know i was shaking after my first start and first drive.
 
Yes I was Happy to finally be at this point.
I had a really long hard day of work so I only got to go by there for a few minutes late this evening and it was cool to be able to jump in it and turn the key and it started right up. it will all set in more this weekend after I get it back and get to spent some time working on it. It really needs a bath bad, it is dirtier then its been in along time. It will be good to have back to tinker with after some of these long work days.

Did get a short bad video, but I need to figure out how to post it.
 
Going to get it now. Try to get some better videos soon.
 
Cool man! Im sure it will feel good to have it back at home!
