Default New guy from BC, Canada

Registered along time ago, never really posted. My name is Josh, born and raised in the Cariboo (Williams Lake) in British Columbia I have a couple trucks.

1st and my baby, is my 1994 Silverado, Has a 350 Carb Swap (~350FWHP) from the factory 4.3L TBI, Lowered, Shaved, Big wheels, Running a TPS setup to control the 4L60E.

Couple pics:






Second truck is my beater, 1987 Ford F150 XLT Lariat, Has a Rowdy little 302, still EFI but converted over to Speed density from MAF or the other way around (Chevy guy here ), Cobra computer, huge cam, the works, getting pretty tired now, Truck has a 4-Speed standard and is very fun to drive, VERY rusty but Trusty, lol, i am in the middle of doing a box swap on it



As mentioned above im more of a Chevy/GM guy, VERY knowledgeable about SBC/BBC's, my dad currently has a 1969 Camaro SS that he just recently replaced the 427 init in favor of a 402, Ive grown up around Muscle cars my whole life and i own a 1970 Pontiac LeMans Sport with a 455 Buick, TH400 and a factory 12-bolt with WS6 suspension slapped in her.

Welcome to the site! Nice truck, did you just take the TPS off the old TBI and mount it to the carb to control the transmission and still keep the original computer?
