1988 Silverado

How easy is a LSx, or 5.3 swap on those 88-95 trucks?

Relatively easy. If I had kept mine, it would have gotten a turbo lsx and a drop.

i wouldn't be scared of a high miles 3 fiddy

This was my favorite one.. I shouldn't have sold it
Oh well woulda shoulda coulda

[Jimbo]

If it is clean, it is priced right. Especially if the efi setup isn't a hack job. I have had a few, and still own a 95 with the tbi, it is still as solid as most anything I own with 170k on the clock.

Mine was a damn steal then at half the price. Ice cold A/C for the entire 7 years I had it.

Nobody wants a Lwb 2wd.

I got a 95 1500 single cab long bed as one of my kids first vehicles. Parts are still easy to get for them and fairly easy to work on. Even with the 350 its nice but they aren't too much trouble. I try and stick to AC Delco parts and just find whoever has the best deal from rockauto, amazon, and local places.

Don't they have factory fuel injection? Why the need for an expensive aftermarket unit? I'm actually going to look at an 89 GMC today. I'm having a hard time getting over the ugly ass dash.

Well, somebody did.

the tbi setup makes zero power lol
put a 95-98 dash in..

The EFI system was installed correctly and cleanly. No hack job at all. Overall it's a clean truck for the age other than some clear coat peeling. Couple of dings here and there but that's about it. Interior still pretty clean compared to others I've seen.

You guys got nothin on muh 305. Just wait for the fo fi sixes.

Family and friends proce would be $2k but craigslist I would expect $3500 to be asking price for one in good condition

That efi system would make it easy to LS swap it. Use the Edelbrock or Holley carb intake with Msd controller. You won't have to worry about a harness or tuning. I have ez-efi on my 74 and that's the route I will be using.

I was wondering if the EFI system would make the LS swap easy. It's one of the main reasons I'm considering purchasing the truck. I might be able to get it for $3K and daily drive it while I start gathering all the parts I need for the swap.

If you have never worked on cars before it probably isn't the best to buy but will be reliable atleast to a point

if you're going to learn, it isn't a bad choice

the tbi setup makes zero power lol.

it isn't the TBI system that sucks. It's the heads

[Cooter]

if you're going to learn, it isn't a bad choice

Yeah, right there between "to simple to actually learn anything" and "too complex to know where to start"

And there's an insanely large/free knowledge base on them.
