So I have a 400 big cam, starts in the cold like a 400, smokes like a locamotive if cold, wicked touchy mid throttle, truck jerks bad at times mid throttle, you have to drive full throttle or no throttle to drive smoothly, loaded it's a little better. If I plug the truck in at night I can prevent the cold smoke, and pulls hard loaded, and the jake could hold back a locamotive.
So here's the question, if I send the injection pump out, it may help the jerky throttle, but truck will still smoke cold.
Option 2- pull the engine buy an N14, throw enough money at it and I can have 550 smoke free hp. Takes a lot of cheddar to make this option happen.
Option 3- buy a junk N14 with a bad crank or block, swap the parts, using my block, crank, rods, swap Pistons, and fuel system parts, cam. But is crank and block the same? Less cheddar more sweat equity.
Thoughts?
