Deejaa,

Yeah I have a printed off injector pump conversion guide I have read through a few times. I think I have most of the parts except the throttle cables of the correct length. Still have to check what all parts I am able to source from my parts truck, I think I can get the pedal assembly and cruise control unit.

Yeah, my old 1991 K2500LD taught me lots about GMT400 airflow or lack therof, any grill blocking will be done cautiously. I hope to eventually redesign the front end enough to create a greater pressure differential between the engine bay and the front to increase the airflow.

I don't mind downshifting if necessary, especially when loaded. I hope to reduce the weight and drag to the point it can hold overdrive up a moderate hill when empty with the steeper gears. I already have to downshift to climb certain hills in my Tacoma. If I do forcibly induct my 6.5L, I don't know that I would use a turbocharger, maybe would try a clutched supercharger setup.

Is your 1993 a single rear wheel or a dually?
