I was thinking the same, but as a nice large feed line for running other motors. But duel purpose is better!
Do you think it could be searched via the VIN?
I have a feed line two inch cap off under my hood if I need it.

It shouldnāt be hard to check its like two or three bolt and the cover pops off. That way you know for sure. Yeah dont know if the vin will tell what heads this engine has.
I did google search for LU3 and it came as the 4.3 ltr. Thats a whole different animal. Im talking about the V8 Vortec motor. I would not waste my time with a 4.3 I would yank that thing out in a heart beat and send to a recycler so it can be melted down and made into something more useful.
And I who thought I had such a good American car ??
The 4.3 isnāt a bad motor overall, itās that we muricansā love our horsepower and torque. As they say no replacement for displacement!
Yeah no offence to anyone. Just not a fan of that engine.
Just kidding with you.
Finally did a light up and drive video, but yāall feel free to enjoy the ride after. Turned into a 43 minute video so I put āmovieā in the title
Thanks for the ride Marcus, was interesting to see how it works to drive with carburetor, I have not seen it before.
Pretty easy really, Iām excited to do a fuel injected one next!
If I ever get my Jaguar on the property and finish the trade with my dadās friend, I wanted to put a Holley efi kit on the 350sbc in there to add in the woodgas so I could dualfuel it easier. They tune on the fly so it might even go into a dribble mode if the O2 sensor would detect it correctly.
Iām planning on the fitech system for the yota because it doesnāt control timing, and budget friendly haha
I havenāt looked into them at all, Iāll have to do some research. Iām not totally decided on one.
I wish someone made EFI kits for smaller engines, I know everyone wants to make V8s run better but the little 4 bangers need love too. Holley finally made a kit for the old Jeeps.
Holley fitech and msd atomic are the popular ones, IV played with the Holley sniper systems and know a few guys with the fitech. 800 bucks for bolt on efi that I control the timing (perfect for woodgas) down face injector for no soot clogging,l and intake manifold cleaning, several different kits for different horse power ratings, self learning, can order it with the high pressure pump for it. I did some digging and it matches my needs the best. You can read till your blue in the face on these kits but first hand experience is the best. I donāt know if anyone else has intentionally woodgassed a after market efi system but Iām planning to. Make this motor run a lot more efficient on gasoline too and I get to hybrid drive if needed. But like @Matt has said this motor has more then enough power for this truck, even on wood. More horsepower then it ever had with the stock 22r 4 banger thatās for sure haha. There are a couple 2 barrel systems for 4 bangers now
Looks like the Fitech 2 barrel doesnāt control timing, which is fine by me. My advance is almost full tilt same as it was when I bought it, looks like it has another half inch of travel left on the slot forward. Itās really tempting.
Thanks for the ride (and lightup) Marcus.
Very much welcome next time Iāll make sure you guys can see over the dash instead of the toddlers view
Thanks for the ride Marcus .
I road the entire distance and enjoyed each mile.
